Apple in talks with ByteDance and Tencent to launch AI features in China
19 December, 2024 20:34
Currently, Apple is holding talks with Tencent and TikTok owner ByteDance about integrating their artificial intelligence models into iPhones sold in China.
According to sources, the US firm started the rollout of OpenAI’s ChatGPT into its devices this month, part of the Apple Intelligence product, which allows its Siri voice assistant to tap the chatbot’s expertise including on user queries about photos and documents such as presentations.Â
ChatGPT is not available in China. The China’s regulatory requirements mandate that generative AI services obtain government approval before public release, forcing Apple to seek local partners for its AI features at a time when its market share in the country is declining.
Apple’s discussions with ByteDance and Tencent and on using their AI models are at a very early stage. ByteDance had declined to comment, while Apple and Tencent did not respond immediately to requests for comment.Â
A successful partner for Apple’s AI services in China could be a major winner in the country’s increasingly crowded AI field where dozens of large language models have been launched by large tech firms as well as startups.
