Apple Embraces AI with Apple Intelligence
Jun 23, 2024

Sam

Hey Amy, did you hear about Apple's big AI announcement at WWDC?

Amy

Yeah, they're calling it Apple Intelligence. It sounds like they're adding a bunch of new AI features to iOS, iPadOS, and MacOS. Pretty exciting stuff!

Sam

Definitely! I'm curious about how it all works. What kind of AI are they using?

Amy

Well, they've developed their own language and vision models. Some of them run directly on your device, while others use Apple's cloud for more processing power.

Sam

That's cool. So what kind of things can you do with Apple Intelligence?

Amy

Quite a lot, actually! There's semantic search, which can understand the context of your data and routines to give better search results. And they've got generative AI for things like creating custom emojis or polishing up rough sketches.

Sam

Wow, that sounds fun! What about Siri? Any changes there?

Amy

Yes, Siri is getting a major upgrade. You can now interact with it using text, not just voice. Apple says it will be more helpful and intelligent than ever before.

Sam

That's great. I always found voice interactions a bit awkward in public. Texting Siri sounds much better. I also heard something about ChatGPT integration?

Amy

Right, starting later this year, you'll be able to chat with ChatGPT through Siri without needing an OpenAI account or paying a fee. Paid ChatGPT users will have access to additional features.

Sam

Nice! I bet a lot of people will be excited about that. But what about privacy? Apple is usually big on that.

Amy

They've got that covered too. Apple says they won't retain user data on their cloud, and they won't have special access to it either. Plus, independent researchers can check the code to make sure everything is secure and private.

Sam

That's reassuring. It sounds like Apple has put a lot of thought into this. I can't wait to try out Apple Intelligence when it's available!
