AI ETHICS AND REGULATION

TIM COOK

TITLE: CEO COMPANY: APPLE INDUSTRY: TECHNOLOGY
Tim Cook, Apple’ s CEO since 2011, is known for operational excellence and AI-driven innovation, steering the company’ s growth while integrating advanced technology into global business ecosystems.
“ There is no valid business reason for the Apple-OpenAI deal to be exclusive,” Elon Musk argues in a Texas federal court filing – contending the arrangement blocks competitors and hands OpenAI valuable data about how millions of users interact with AI.
The case mirrors how competition law intersects with AI ethics. The lawsuit argues that“ the Apple- OpenAI arrangement has foreclosed competition among generative AI chatbots, deprived competing Gen AI chatbots of scale and reduced quality and innovation.”
Apple CEO Tim Cook says when discussing Apple’ s AI transformation:“ Apple must do this. Apple will do this. This is sort of ours to grab... We will make the investment to do it,” according to Techspot.
Yet according to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology( MIT), he emphasises that“ when you keep people at the centre of what you do, it can have an enormous impact.”

How Meta’ s quest to build unbiased AI sparks controversy While Musk fights for market access, Meta wades into the politics of AI bias mitigation itself.
When Meta released Llama 4, it declared that“ it’ s well-known that all leading LLMs have had issues with bias – specifically, they historically have leaned left when it comes to debated political and social topics.” aimagazine. com 161
