Apple (AAPL) is taking a new step in its relationship with OpenAI. The tech giant has secured an observer role on OpenAI's board, according to a Bloomberg report.

The seat will go to Phil Schiller, Apple's former marketing chief, who will be critical in providing Apple with key insight into OpenAI. Schiller will be allowed to attend board meetings but will not be able to vote or exercise any other director powers.

This move comes after Apple announced at its Worldwide Developers Conference in June that it would begin integrating OpenAI's ChatGPT into its devices.
