Apple is gearing up to introduce its response to the burgeoning artificial intelligence (AI) sector with the launch of “Apple Intelligence.” This new initiative will be unveiled during Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) from June 10–14.
According to a Bloomberg report, Apple Intelligence will integrate AI services across Apple’s suite of products through a hybrid onboard/cloud approach. iPhones and iPads will utilize discrete hardware for certain AI services, while more complex tasks will rely on cloud services. This strategy aims to balance consumer privacy for basic functions like predictive text and typing suggestions with the need for cloud support for more advanced generative features. Apple will reportedly collaborate with OpenAI to incorporate ChatGPT, despite OpenAI’s partnership with Microsoft for cloud services.
In addition to these advancements, Apple plans to significantly enhance Siri. Once a pioneer in virtual assistants, Siri has lagged behind Competitors like Samsung, which has adopted modern generative technologies. The revamped Siri is expected to handle detailed instructions for personalized tasks, such as deleting specific emails or editing photos.
However, the announcement of “Apple Intelligence” has not been well-received by social media and tech news pundits, who have criticized the nomenclature. This skepticism reflects a broad concern that Apple has been slow to enter the generative AI market, especially as Microsoft and Google have aggressively pursued AI development to secure their positions in the tech industry.
Despite the negative initial reception, Apple’s entry into generative AI with features like AI-generated emojis, an upgraded Siri, and the integration of Apple Intelligence into its ecosystem might help the company maintain its market dominance throughout 2024.
