According to the Wall Street Journal, Apple has refused to approve a new version of the email app BlueMail, which includes the generative AI capabilities powered by the popular chatbot Chat GPT, unless the developer agrees to impose a minimum age of 17.
The new update to BlueMail l includes an artificial intelligence feature that uses content from previous emails and calendar events to help users craft emails.
However, Apple's App Store review team has told the company responsible for developing the BlueMail app that they have reservations about AI-powered language tools that have the potential to generate content inappropriate for minors. As a result, they have required that the app increase the minimum age to 17 years or older, or implement what is known as content filtering, where the app has a system that monitors and prevents inappropriate content from being shown or sent to users. Keyword filtering or machine learning algorithms, to identify and block malicious or offensive content.
Currently, BlueMail has age restrictions of four years or more. The developer argues that the app already has content filtering in place, and that dramatically increasing the age restriction could deter new users from downloading the app.
Age restrictions of 17 or older in the App Store typically apply to apps that contain offensive language, sexual content, or drug references.
Blix has accused Apple of treating it unfairly by placing such a restriction on BlueMail, because they believe other apps with similar ChatGPT features do not have such strict age requirements.
In response, an Apple spokesperson stated that developers have the option to challenge such decisions by appealing to the App Review Board, and that the company is currently looking into the Blix complaint.
The latest version of Microsoft's Bing search engine, which includes Chat GPT technology, has an age restriction of 17 years or older in the Apple App Store, while there is no such restriction for the same app in the Google Play Store.
This indicates that the age rating requirements are for the Apple platform only. The move highlights Apple's apparent efforts to impose strict guidelines on new AI applications, due to concerns about its ability to modify user-generated content.
It appears that Apple is not actively competing in the race to create generative AI tools. Although the company held an annual AI summit for its employees, reports indicate that the event primarily covered topics such as healthcare, privacy, and computer vision which refers to the field of artificial intelligence and computer science that focuses on enabling a machine to interpret and understand visual data from the world. around them, like photos and videos. Computer vision has various applications, including object recognition, facial recognition, self-driving, and others.

I hope that the iPhone Islam team will block some comments that are very jerky or out of public taste. I see that there is a failure to manage the comments, otherwise what does it mean that you claim to review our comments?
Guys let's be real
Neither Apple nor others. General companies are looking for their own interests and what brings them profits. Some companies' actions may not be based on the arguments they show, but rather it may be a trade war, or a slowdown in progress.
In any case, all of these companies (Apple-Samsung-...) are not an Islamic product so that we can believe the age considerations they present and the like with regard to their actions. We all know that they are products of morally lost societies that are far from revelation, so what does it mean for the restriction to be XNUMX years - for example - Is it permissible for someone who has reached this age to address what God has forbidden? Because they consider that his language does not need the restrictions of verbal filtering and the like.
Finally, everyone who participates in the comments here is a Muslim, and by God, none of the issues of technology deserve to differentiate between two Muslims, even in viewpoints. What we agree on - religion - is greater than what we differ in, and a point of view will not advance or delay us in the actions of one thorn or another.
O Allah, bring the hearts of Muslims together..
Thank you all for your valuable and helpful replies. I agree with you that technology companies pursue their own interests, but we must be careful not to be dragged into uncritical companies. In any case, we should all agree that as Muslims we need to adhere to our Islamic ethics, whether in dealing with technology or other areas. We are all brothers in faith and we must respect each other's views and strive for cooperation and solidarity for the benefit of Muslims. 🤝🕌
Apple's response to you:
I sleep filling my eyelids from its strays,,
And creation watches over it and quarrels,
And an ignorant one who laughed in his ignorance,
until a physiognomy hand and a mouth came to him,,
If you see the tusks of the lion sticking out,
Do not think that the lion is smiling.
💪🏻😴
In addition to that, Apple is circumventing the European Union, although it will issue the iPhone 15 with a USB C port, but it has added technologies that do not accept any other cable that is not manufactured, unlicensed, or supported by it, even if it is of type C.
But the European Union will have a different opinion in this regard.
Do not buy an iPhone 15, what is forced, my brother 😅 He took a 23 ultra camera photographing water when they discovered it on the moon 😅
I think that imposing age restrictions is important, especially in what we are going through in terms of the spread of the phenomenon of sexual content
Bluemail is great
I advise you to promote your soul because you are enchanted, or you have a touch, or you are complicated 🤣
I swear to God, my brother, you are the one who has a psychological condition and a complex from a company 😅
I think or believe that you are a worshiper of Apple and perhaps you will sell one of your kidneys for it..
Here I will end the useless talk with a robot.
My robot 😅!! Android people, you have frankly stupid sideburns 😁
Is your mind in place or outside the shell of your head? Is everyone who uses another device away from your lady Apple considered stupid as you claim?
There are sophisticated minds that use the simplest devices with all humility, but you may have sold your kidney for a piece of metal..
Know very well that minds differ, as well as opinions, and everyone has a choice in what he uses or wears, and so on.
If you die from worshiping Apple, then not all people are like you.
The forbidden love of Apple deceives you, and this is what your lady wants.
