Apple's developer event begins: Could AI advancements soon spotlight the tech giant?
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.
During WWDC, Apple typically shows off the software and features that will be included with its upcoming device launches in the fall. In this instance, AI is set to be a key player.
As per Bloomberg, there will be an AI feature that can condense the content of missed messages or emails. This would be helpful for those who haven't checked their smartphone in a while. The iPhone may also be able to draft responses for users, as per people in the know. Additionally, Apple's well-known voice assistant, Siri, could take on more responsibilities due to AI.
Both Google and Microsoft have emphasized AI-related functions at their recent developer conferences. Microsoft inked a billion-dollar deal to gain full access to OpenAI's technology. Thus far, Apple has only utilized AI for specific functions such as enhancing images and videos.
