ChatGPT would support some of those A.I. features by, for example, answering more complex questions on behalf of Siri.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-ac37hb evys1bk0\">Now, OpenAI is weighing legal action such as sending Apple a notice claiming breach of contract, the person said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-ac37hb evys1bk0\">Last year, Apple <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/11\/technology\/apple-issues-trump-tariffs.html\" title=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">had problems with its A.I. upgrades<\/a> and delayed the release of an improved Siri. Since then, the iPhone maker has largely remained on the sidelines of A.I., even as other technology giants spend hundreds of billions of dollars building A.I. models and data centers and as start-ups push the envelope on the technology.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-ac37hb evys1bk0\">Apple declined to comment. Bloomberg <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2026-05-14\/openai-apple-partnership-frays-setting-up-possible-legal-fight\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">reported earlier<\/a> on OpenAI\u2019s considering legal action.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-ac37hb evys1bk0\">In recent months, OpenAI has tried to rework its deal with Apple, the person said. OpenAI had expected the deal to encourage people to subscribe to ChatGPT and Apple to make the chatbot prominent within Siri. Instead, OpenAI has been disappointed by how Apple has integrated ChatGPT, and complained that the option to use the chatbot with Siri was difficult for some people to find.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-ac37hb evys1bk0\">The consideration of legal action could be a bargaining chip as Apple takes steps to also work with OpenAI\u2019s competitors in the fast-growing A.I. market. In January, Apple <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/01\/12\/technology\/apple-google-ai-partnership.html\" title=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">said it would use<\/a> Google\u2019s Gemini A.I. models and cloud computing services to power its A.I. products, including Siri.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As OpenAI nears the end of a trial to decide a multibillion-dollar lawsuit filed against it by Elon&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":39580,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[24,342,25,580,1555,1153,1588,24289],"class_list":{"0":"post-39579","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ai","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-apple-inc","10":"tag-artificial-intelligence","11":"tag-chatgpt","12":"tag-computers-and-the-internet","13":"tag-google-inc","14":"tag-openai-labs","15":"tag-suits-and-litigation-civil"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39579","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39579"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39579\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39580"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39579"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39579"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39579"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
