Apple's artificial intelligence (AI) strategy is shaping the technology to be more useful for everyday users rather than primarily for users chasing superintelligence. Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing, Greg Joswiak, in a recent interview discussed the company's approach to AI. He reportedly said the company is confident in its approach and dismissed the hardware threats from competitors like OpenAI.

Joswiak said Apple is not affected by OpenAI's hardware ambitions. The company differentiates products through integration between devices, operating systems and services, and it seems to believe this approach helps to compete with new AI products from rivals like OpenAI. "We don't feel threatened. The fact that we can do the integration that we can means we can create just a better experience than anybody else," he reportedly added.

"In the midst of a populist AI backlash, they contend that they are building a modest but personalised and privacy-preserving form of AI that will actually help ordinary people as opposed to merely dazzling Silicon Valley's “lunatic fringe,” as Greg Joswiak, senior vice president of worldwide marketing, puts it"

The executive doesn't clarify what he means by "lunatic fringe," but he framed it against Apple's commitment to everyday users.
