Thank you, Mr. Air, a netizen of CTOnews.com, for your clue delivery! CTOnews.com, March 2 (Xinhua)-- Apple has blocked the update of an email app that uses ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence language tool, because of concerns that the app may generate inappropriate content for children, and the app's developers disagree with Apple's approach, the Wall Street Journal reported.

The news of Tu Yuan Pixabay came from an email sent by Apple to the developers of the app, which is called BlueMail and the developer is Blix, and its co-founder Ben Volach said that last week, Apple took steps to block BlueMail updates because of concerns that a new artificial intelligence feature in the app might display inappropriate content. BlueMail's new artificial intelligence feature uses OpenAI's latest ChatGPT chat robot to help users automatically write emails based on previous email and calendar events.

"your app contains content generated by artificial intelligence, but it doesn't seem to include content filtering at present," Apple's app review team said in a letter to the app developer last week. " Because the app may generate content that is not suitable for all audiences, BlueMail should raise its age limit to over 17 or include content filtering, the review team said. According to the document, Wallach said the app has a content filtering feature and is currently open to users aged 4 and older. Apple has set an age limit for users aged 17 and older, a category that includes apps that may include everything from vulgar language to sex and drug content. Wallach said that this requirement is unfair, and other applications with similar artificial intelligence features without age limit have been allowed to be used by Apple users. "Apple makes it very difficult for us to bring innovation to our users." Wallach said.

A spokesman for Apple said developers can appeal through its app review board's complaint program, and that the company is investigating Blix's complaint.

The so-called generative artificial intelligence has become one of the most concerned developing technologies for decades, mainly caused by the ChatGPT chat robot created by OpenAI.

CTOnews.com has previously reported that Microsoft recently released a new version of the Bing app that includes ChatGPT and submitted it to Apple's App Store and Google's Android Play Store. The Bing app in iPhone App Store follows Apple's requirement for users over the age of 17, while there is no age limit in the Google Play store. A Microsoft spokesman said Bing in App Store has an age limit of over 17 because the app can find adult content.
