Apple reportedly considers letting Anthropic and OpenAI power Siri
TechCrunch3 days
With its in-house AI struggling to meet expectations, Apple must embrace partnerships to stay competitive. Collaborating with leaders like OpenAI and Anthropic lets Apple enhance Siri quickly while preserving its privacy values — an essential move in today's AI-driven tech landscape.
While inter-company partnerships may seem pragmatic, they also risk reinforcing an unhealthy concentration of power. The AI future shouldn't belong to just a few players, especially as even OpenAI begins to show signs of slowing. Innovation thrives through diversity, not dependence.
No matter how sleek the brand or clever the pitch, AI-powered devices come with a catch: they're always watching, listening, logging. Whether it's Apple, Microsoft, or Google, behind the promises of so-called "smart" assistance is a quiet trade-off: privacy for convenience. And once your data's out there, you don’t get it back.
