Apple announced at its Worldwide Developer's Conference on Monday that it would be integrating its new AI software, called Apple Intelligence, across the iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

It also separately announced a partnership with OpenAI, which includes the option to integrate ChatGPT powered by GPT-4o across some of its software, including its new and improved Siri. Apple said the ChatGPT integration would be available for free without an account in iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia later this year.

"When a user grants permission, Siri can tap into ChatGPT's broad world knowledge and present an answer directly," Apple said in the announcement.

"If Apple integrates OpenAI at the OS level, then Apple devices will be banned at my companies," Musk wrote. "That is an unacceptable security violation."

He said that if Apple moved forward with the OpenAI integration, anyone visiting his companies would have to store their Apple devices in a Faraday cage, a type of container that blocks electromagnetic transmissions.
