According to John Sculley, the former CEO of Apple, in the age of artificial intelligence (AI), OpenAI has become Apple's first genuine competitor in many years. He highlighted that AI is not an area where Apple excels, and the company has lagged behind in the AI race. Apple's product launches have faced setbacks, exemplified by the postponement of the comprehensive upgrade of its AI assistant, Siri. Sculley also touched upon rumors surrounding the potential retirement of Apple's current CEO, Tim Cook. He emphasized that whoever succeeds Cook will have the crucial task of guiding Apple's transition from the "App Era" to the "Agent Era." Agent AI has the potential to automate tasks for knowledge workers, driving tech companies to adopt a subscription-based business model. Moreover, Jony Ive, the former chief design officer of Apple, has made appearances at OpenAI after his hardware startup was acquired by the company. Ive aims to create devices that can tackle the problems posed by smartphones and tablets. Sculley is confident that Ive can infuse his groundbreaking design philosophy into the realm of large language models.
