Reference News Website August 15 report - According to AFP on August 14, Apple on the 14th refuted Elon Musk's accusation that Apple's digital store favors the ChatGPT chat application and suppresses his company's Grok and other competing AI tools.
The report mentioned that Musk has long accused Apple of giving unfair advantages to OpenAI's ChatGPT in its App Store, and threatened to take legal action, leading to a fierce exchange this week with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
The report stated that when asked by AFP, Apple said: "The purpose of the App Store is fairness and impartiality. We list thousands of applications through rankings, algorithmic recommendations, and curated lists selected by experts based on objective criteria."
Apple also stated that the App Store aims to provide users with a "safe discovery" and to offer developers an opportunity for their works to gain attention.
The report also mentioned that earlier this week, Musk claimed that Apple was taking measures that prevent any AI company other than OpenAI from ranking first in the App Store, which is a clear violation of antitrust laws, but he did not provide evidence to support this claim.
He posted on the social platform X: "xAI will immediately take legal action." xAI is his own AI company, responsible for operating the Grok chatbot.
X platform users refuted Musk's claims, pointing out that the Chinese DeepSeek app had ranked first on the App Store's chart at the beginning of this year.
Altman also responded on X, calling Musk's allegations "unusual" and accusing Musk himself of "allegedly manipulating the X platform to benefit himself and his company, while harming competitors and people he dislikes." (Translated by Cao Weiguo)
