Innovation in the field of technology - The Apple developer conference commences; AI updates anticipated.
Apple is planning to incorporate artificial intelligence much more heavily in their devices at their developer conference WWDC, set to begin on Monday (at 7pm CEST). According to various news outlets, they may utilize technology from OpenAI - creators of ChatGPT - along with their own in-house developments.
Some potential new AI features could involve creating custom emojis while typing, as reported by financial news source Bloomberg. Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, expressed enthusiasm for the upcoming conference at a gathering with young programmers, calling it "a big deal."
During their WWDC event at their headquarters in Cupertino, California, Apple typically unveils their latest software and device features set to be released in the fall. This time around, AI will undoubtedly play a critical role.
It's been rumored that a built-in AI function will be able to summarize the content of missed messages or emails when you finally check your phone. Additionally, the iPhone could be made to formulate responses for its users.
Siri, Apple's voice-activated assistant, could take on more responsibilities as well, possibly allowing you to delete emails or edit photos just using voice commands.
Both Microsoft and Google have recently paid special attention to AI functions at their developer conferences. Microsoft secured a billion-dollar deal for extensive access to OpenAI technology.
Google has been working on AI-generated summaries for their search results in the US, but these initial implementations have encountered some issues, such as recommending users to eat a small rock daily. Apple has thus far only used AI for specific functions like enhancing photos and videos.
However, a pivotal concern remains: which iPhone models will support these new AI features? Bloomberg speculates that a number of these functions may be available on current models or at least the iPhone 15 Pro set to debut in 2023. If the AI advancements prove popular, they may encourage users to upgrade to the latest devices. The iPhone is easily Apple's most lucrative product, and it powers their app and subscription businesses.
