Shareholders Push for Apple to Open Up About AI Use

 At Apple's yearly meeting, big shareholders have a chance to suggest changes. This year, the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) wants Apple to share how it uses AI and its rules for using this technology safely.


Norges Bank Investment Management and Legal & General, two of Apple's biggest shareholders, are backing this idea. Norges Bank says Apple should think about how its work and products affect society. Legal & General talked to Apple about being more open with its AI plans but didn't get the details they wanted. They think Apple should be clear about how it uses AI and how it manages any risks.

A big advisory group, Institutional Shareholder Services, is telling Apple's investors to support this AI proposal. They believe Apple's current rules don't fully cover the risks of using AI. This makes it hard for shareholders to understand the dangers.


Apple, however, doesn't want this proposal to pass. The company says the report being asked for is too broad and could make them share secrets that could hurt their competitive edge. In the U.S., even if shareholders like an idea, it doesn't force the company to do it. But if more than 30% of investors like an idea, it usually makes the company think seriously about it.
Everyone is watching to see if Apple will introduce new AI features at its WWDC event this year. This push for more openness about AI use at Apple is part of a bigger conversation on how big tech companies handle new technologies and their impact on society.

Apple In The Hotseat After Reviewer Confirms Its Vision Pro’s Eyesight Feature Doesn’t Work

  For months, we’ve seen tech giant Apple speak about how its Vision Pro entails features that set it far apart from all others in the industry. Now, a reviewer is casting serious doubt on the iPhone maker’s claims after adding that one of the key features of the new Vision Pro Eyesight does not work. And that’s shocking considering how much Apple has marketed the product as one of the best in the industry. When you consider a wide array of real-life examples, you’ll find how Apple has always spoken about this technology being one of the best out there. But in reality, one reviewer says that’s far from the truth. CEO Tim Cook took out the time to argue about how AR is far more superior and entertaining than the world of VR. The former was better as it did not isolate individuals from the community arising around it. Moreover, this is where the entire EyeSight product range came into existence from this notion as it ensured users were well aware and engaged in everything in their su...
