Apple has delayed an update of an email app with AI-powered language tools because of worries that it could generate content that’s not safe for kids.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Apple blocked the update of BlueMail because of a new artificial intelligence powered feature in the app, citing Ben Volach, co-founder of BlueMail developer Blix Inc., and documents it viewed.
BlueMail uses ChatGPT, the chatbot created by OpenAI with support from Microsoft, to help automate writing emails based on the user’s prior missives and calendar events
The Journal said Apple’s app-review team told the developer last week, “Your app includes AI-generated content but does not appear to include content filtering at this time.”
