Apple is slated to put the spotlight on Artificial Intelligence (AI) during the first day of its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) on Monday (19:00 CEST). The company is expected to reveal its own developments as well as incorporate technology from OpenAI, the brains behind the famous ChatGPT. This could lead to the creation of new emojis while typing messages with the assistance of AI, reports Bloomberg.
