AI startup OpenAI may encounter an additional legal challenge, separate from its dispute with Tesla CEO Elon Musk. Currently, the company\u2019s two-year partnership with Apple has not met expectations, and it is considering legal action.<\/p>\n According to Bloomberg, company lawyers are considering several steps, including potentially sending the iPhone maker a notice alleging breach of contract without necessarily filing a full lawsuit at this time.<\/p>\n \u200bThe two companies entered into a deal in 2024 that paved the way for integrating OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT into Apple\u2019s devices. This allowed users to access the chatbot\u2019s results through Siri and to sign up for ChatGPT memberships directly from the iOS settings menu.<\/p>\n \u200bThe AI startup was optimistic that the move would play a key role in boosting ChatGPT subscriptions and lead to deeper integration across Apple apps. The relationship between the two tech players has been strained, with reports suggesting the ChatGPT-maker is attempting to stall the renegotiation of the deal.<\/p>\n \u200bThe news comes as Apple plans to move forward with its strategy of enabling users to select from third-party AI models, potentially eroding OpenAI\u2019s unique role within Apple\u2019s software.<\/p>\n \u200bIt will be implemented across iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 this fall.<\/p>\n The report further clarified, citing an OpenAI executive, that this move was not the driving force behind its decision to pursue a legal route, since the partnership was not meant to be exclusive from the start.<\/p>\n \u200bNotably, Google\u2019s Gemini is expected to power Apple\u2019s revamped Siri, coming this year\u2014a plan separate from ChatGPT integration.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the AI startup, apart from its legal developments, is also embroiled in security and technical concerns. As AI advances, both cybersecurity and cyber threats are evolving, leaving OpenAI in the middle of a security issue.<\/p>\n \u200bEarlier this week, two employees were impacted after an open-source library on their devices was compromised. OpenAI confirmed the impact in an official blog<\/a>. Following an internal investigation, they \u201cfound no evidence that OpenAI user data was accessed, that our production systems or intellectual property were compromised, or that our software was altered.\u201d<\/p>\n \u200bThis incident follows an April compromise, in which a GitHub Actions workflow used in the macOS app-signing process downloaded and executed a malicious version of Axios. The security issue did not impact OpenAI data.<\/p>\n \u200bIt reflects a broader trend in which attackers are increasingly targeting shared software dependencies and development tools rather than a single company at a time.<\/p>\n
