AI (Chatgpt) Is Controversial Even With Apple

ChatGPT has become increasingly popular since start-up OpenAI released it in November, surpassing one million users a few days after launch. People have been using the chatbot to automate tasks at work and school, raising questions about how AI could replace some of the white-collar jobs. So-called generative AI has become one of the most closely watched emerging technologies in decades.
Apple vs AI
Apple has delayed approving an update to its email app with AI-powered language tools amid concerns it might generate content that is inappropriate for children, according to communications from Apple to the app developer. The developer of the software does not agree with Apple's decision.
According to Ben Volach, co-founder of BlueMail developer Blix Inc., Apple took steps last week to block updates to the BlueMail mail app due to concerns that a new AI feature in the app might display inappropriate content.
The app-review team said that because the app could produce content not appropriate for all audiences, BlueMail should move up its age restriction to 17 and older, or include content filtering, the documents show.
Volach says it has content-filtering capabilities. The app’s restriction is currently set for users 4 years old and older. Apple’s age restriction for 17 and older is for categories of apps that may include everything from offensive language to sexual content and references to drugs. Volach says that this request is unfair and that other apps with similar AI functions without age restrictions are already allowed for Apple users.
Apple's attempt to establish an age restriction to help moderate language-based AI content indicates that the tech giant is keeping a close eye on new technology and the risks it poses. The company has long said it needs to carefully select and screen what software is available on the iPhone and iPad via the App Store to ensure the privacy and security of its products.

BlueMail
BlueMail's new AI feature uses OpenAI's latest ChatGPT chatbot to help automate email writing using the content of previous emails and calendar events. ChatGPT allows users to talk to AI in a seemingly human way and is capable of advanced, lengthy typing on a variety of topics.
Workers at some companies have been using ChatGPT to write emails and research topics. Some of the employees say the chatbot helps them work faster while others are trying to avoid being left behind as technology evolves.

Not only Apple
Chase & Co. restricts employees from using ChatGPT.
The bank did not restrict the use of the popular AI chatbot because of any specific incident, the person said. It was not possible to determine how many employees used the chatbot or what functions they used it for.
In addition to JPMorgan, other organizations have also blocked access to ChatGPT. Last week, Verizon Communications Inc. barred the chatbot from its corporate systems, saying it could lose ownership of customer information or source code that its employees typed into ChatGPT. New York City public schools in January banned the chatbot from its internet networks and school devices.
