OpenAI announced two major executive hires and a partnership with Apple for ChatGPT-Siri integration.
Sarah Friar, former CEO of Nextdoor and CFO at Square, joins as chief financial officer.
Kevin Weil, ex-president at Planet Labs (NYSE:PL) and former VP at Twitter and Facebook, is the new chief product officer.
Widely touted, the partnership with Apple will integrate ChatGPT into iOS, iPadOS, and macOS later this year.
This will allow Siri to utilise ChatGPT’s capabilities, enhancing features such as text generation and image creation within Apple's Writing Tools.
Users will need to consent before any questions, documents, or photos are sent to ChatGPT, ensuring privacy and transparency.
These moves come as OpenAI strengthens its position in the competitive generative AI market while addressing internal and industry-wide concerns about AI oversight.
