«آبل» ترد على ماسك: قواعد «آب ستور» محايدة وشفافة

Apple rejected Elon Musk's accusations of discriminating against OpenAI applications - including ChatGPT - in the App Store, confirming in a statement sent to Agence France-Presse that the promotion of apps is done through a mix of algorithmic rankings and editorial lists created by experts based on objective criteria. The goal is to enable safe app discovery and provide fair opportunities for developers. Musk, via the platform "X," hinted at "immediate legal action" through xAI due to what he considered the impossibility of any competitor other than OpenAI reaching the top, leading to a widespread altercation on the platform between xAI officials and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. The controversy comes amid a regulatory environment pressuring "Apple" with antitrust files and in-app payment restrictions, as well as its ongoing dispute with Epic Games, alongside strategic updates such as the launch of the Apple Intelligence package in collaboration with OpenAI in 2024. Observers believe that Apple's balance between human curation and algorithms remains a central topic of discussion regarding recommendation neutrality amid the AI race, and that any potential legal actions from Musk could reveal more details about the visibility and preference mechanisms within the store.
