Apple Okays BlueMail, ChatGPT-Powered App After Assurance of Content Moderation: WSJ
Apple has approved an email-app update after initially scrutinising whether a feature in the software that uses language tools powered by artificial intelligence could generate inappropriate content for children, The Wall Street Journal said.
San Francisco, March 4: Apple has approved an email-app update after initially scrutinising whether a feature in the software that uses language tools powered by artificial intelligence could generate inappropriate content for children, The Wall Street Journal said.
The app, BlueMail, was approved following assurances from its developer that it features content moderation, according to Ben Volach, co-founder of the app-maker, Blix. ChatGPT: From Login To How To Use, Here’s a Complete Guide To Try Out the AI-Powered Chatbot.
The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday that the update, which included a new feature powered by language chatbot ChatGPT, was held up due to Apple's request that the app add content moderation or be restricted to ages 17 and older. The app was previously available for ages 4 and older. Data Breach Warning: Hackers Exploiting ChatGPT To Write Malicious Codes To Steal Your Data.
Blix told Apple its update includes content moderation and suggested that the company should make public any new policies about the use of ChatGPT or other similar AI systems in apps, according to WSJ. The BlueMail update was approved without changes on Thursday evening. The app is still available for users aged 4 and older.
WSJ said Apple didn't respond to requests for comment. BlueMail's new feature uses OpenAI's ChatGPT, an artificial-intelligence system capable of answering questions or writing short essays, to help automate the writing of emails using the contents of prior emails and calendar events, according to WSJ.
The news of Apple's initial rejection of BlueMail's ChatGPT feature highlighted the growing concerns around new uses of language-generating AI tools, according to WSJ, adding that ChatGPT allows users to converse with an AI that appears humanlike, but early testing has shown the AI producing incorrect information as well as strange and sometimes hostile responses.
