Apple is looking for ‘AI partner’ in China, here’s why

Apple is reportedly looking to partner with a Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) company to launch its Apple Intelligence features in China. The Cupertino-based tech giant introduced a bunch of AI-powered features for iPhones at its annual developer conference WWDC 2024 in collaboration with ChatGPT maker OpenAI. Since ChatGPT is banned in China, Apple must find a local AI chatbot that will work alongside Siri to handle requests for AI-generated content.
