Apple is set to gain an observer seat on OpenAI's board as part of a cooperation agreement announced in June, aligning it with OpenAI's primary backer, Microsoft. This news, which follows a rise in Apple's stock, indicates that Phil Schiller, head of Apple’s App Store, will serve in this role. Though he won't have voting rights, Schiller's position allows him insight into OpenAI's decision-making. The arrangement is expected to take effect later this year, raising concerns about the dynamics between Apple and Microsoft during board discussions on sensitive AI projects.
