OpenAI has appointed retired U.S. Army General Paul M. Nakasone to its board of directors. Nakasone, a cybersecurity expert, will serve on the board's security committee. OpenAI says it aims to use AI systems to improve its resilience to cyber threats and explore the potential for AI to improve cybersecurity in areas such as healthcare, education, and finance. Nakasone brings extensive experience from his military career, where he played a key role in the creation of US Cyber Command and was the longest serving director of both the command and the National Security Agency. The move comes as OpenAI has been under fire for weeks over AI safety issues after its super alignment team left on its own terms and OpenAI then dissolved it. OpenAI is also working with the U.S. military on cybersecurity issues.

Apple is integrating OpenAI's ChatGPT into the iPhone, iPad and Mac without paying for it directly, Bloomberg reports. Instead, Apple sees the distribution of the technology across hundreds of millions of devices as equally or more valuable than a monetary payment. The integration is part of a broader AI push by Apple, which also includes its own AI capabilities under the "Apple Intelligence" brand. Eventually, the partnership could be expensive for OpenAI due to hosting costs on Microsoft Azure. However, both companies could make money by converting free users to OpenAI subscriptions, with Apple taking a cut. Apple is also pursuing deals with Google and Anthropic to offer multiple chatbots. In China, where ChatGPT and Gemini are blocked, Apple is considering partnerships with Baidu and Alibaba.
