OpenAI Launches ChatGPT Mobile App for iOS
OpenAI recently launched a free ChatGPT mobile application for iOS users. They also have plans to release an Android version in the future. Currently, the mobile app is exclusively available in the United States.
According to the company, the app allows users to sync their conversations, utilize voice input, and access the latest improvements to the ChatGPT model. OpenAI aims to expand the app’s availability to other countries in the upcoming weeks while continuing to enhance its features.
Although the release date for the Android version hasn’t been specified, it is expected to be available soon. Similar to the web version, users will need a subscription to utilize the ChatGPT-4 model.
OpenAI’s mobile application development marks another milestone for the company, which has been making significant progress in both professional and personal contexts. However, various stakeholders have raised concerns regarding the platform’s usage.
Two major technology companies, Samsung and Apple, have responded to these concerns by restricting the usage of ChatGPT. Samsung implemented a ban on AI usage by its employees after a data leak occurred through ChatGPT, where sensitive code was uploaded.
Similarly, Apple has prohibited its employees from using ChatGPT and other AI tools due to worries about potential leaks of sensitive information.

The rise in popularity of AI and ChatGPT has brought the topic of AI regulation to the forefront. Regulators and individuals alike are expressing concerns about the implications of this technology. Congressional hearings and general apprehension have peaked, prompting OpenAI CEO Sam Altman to advocate for AI regulation in the United States.
Altman has explicitly mentioned the potential negative consequences, including the impact on the job market, as AI has the capacity to replace human labor. He has also expressed concerns about the misuse of AI in misinformation campaigns and election interference.
Consequently, there is a global trend toward regulating AI, with the European Union taking a particularly proactive approach. Some lawmakers in the EU have already approved the EU’s AI Act.
