Apple's Phil Schiller will not be joining OpenAI's board as an observer, despite earlier reports. The initial announcement on July 2 suggested that Schiller, Apple's former marketing chief, would have access to board meetings and confidential information without voting rights. However, recent updates on July 10 indicate that both Apple and Microsoft will not be taking observer roles on OpenAI's board. The decision comes amid antitrust concerns and the upcoming integration of ChatGPT into iOS 18.
