Apple is set to gain an observer role on OpenAI's board as part of a landmark AI partnership announced last month. Phil Schiller, Apple's App Store chief and former marketing head, has been chosen to represent Apple in this role. This collaboration follows Apple's recent announcement of a partnership with OpenAI at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2024. The board observer role will allow Apple to participate in OpenAI's board meetings, providing insights into future AI developments. Bloomberg News reports that the board arrangement will involve OpenAI's nonprofit board.
