Recent talks between Apple and Meta regarding integrating Meta’s AI chatbot into iOS 18 ended with Apple rejecting the partnership due to privacy concerns. This decision was made several months ago while Apple was considering collaborations with OpenAI and Google.

At WWDC 2024, Apple announced the integration of OpenAI’s ChatGPT into Siri and Apple Intelligence in iOS 18. This allows users to choose ChatGPT when Apple’s native AI doesn’t fully meet their needs, demonstrating Apple’s commitment to offering a variety of AI options now and in the future.

Meta has launched Meta AI in India, available on platforms like WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook. The AI, powered by Meta’s Llama 3 model, assists users with daily tasks within social apps, offering services like restaurant recommendations on WhatsApp and creative tips on Instagram.

The rollout of Meta AI in India follows Apple’s decision to integrate ChatGPT into iOS, intensifying competition in the AI assistant market. Apple’s collaboration with OpenAI showcases ChatGPT’s capabilities, while Meta’s expansion into AI showcases its competitiveness in the field.

Apple Intelligence, set to launch later this year with iOS 18 updates, will initially support US English on specific Apple devices. Support will gradually extend to more languages and regions over time, ensuring a broad rollout.

Apple’s partnership with OpenAI for ChatGPT integration highlights its focus on privacy and flexible AI experiences. Meta’s launch of Meta AI in India reflects the competitive nature of the AI assistant market and signifies a dynamic landscape in the field.
