TECH - Apple Reportedly Said No To Meta's Offer For iPhone AI Integration Due To Privacy Policy Concerns | Benzinga
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) has reportedly rejected a proposal from Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:META) to integrate its AI chatbot, Llama, into the iPhone.
What Happened: Despite preliminary discussions in March, Apple and Meta are not currently in talks about a potential AI partnership involving Llama. Apple has decided not to proceed with the integration, partially because they didn’t think Meta’s privacy practices are stringent enough, reported Bloomberg, citing people with knowledge of the matter.
The discussions took place around the time Apple began negotiating deals to incorporate Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) -backed OpenAI's ChatGPT and Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Gemini into its products.
