Open Data Science Conference (ODSC)’s Post

The iPhone 16 will ship as a work in progress https://ift.tt/6S9EbZr Image: Apple Apple’s all in on AI — at least Apple’s version. “The next generation of iPhone has been designed for Apple Intelligence from the ground up,” Apple CEO Tim Cook said before revealing the iPhone 16. Software chief Craig Federighi pitched Apple Intelligence as a “personal intelligence system” that’s at “the heart of the iPhone 16 lineup.” After the event, Apple even published a whole press release dedicated to Apple Intelligence. There’s just one catch: when the iPhone 16 and 16 Pro first come out, they won’t have any Apple Intelligence features. Sure, the new A18 and A18 Pro chips in the iPhone 16 lineup each have a 16-core Neural Engine that Apple says is “optimized for large generative models,” so they will probably be good at handling Apple Intelligence features. Yes, Apple has been testing Apple Intelligence upgrades, like a new design for Siri and tools that can help you improve your writing, remove objects from photos, and summarize notifications, as part of an iOS 18.1 beta for developers. But unless you’re running that beta you won’t be able to put those features to the test until for a while. A few Apple Intelligence features will arrive soon-ish A few Apple Intelligence features will arrive soon-ish, as Apple gave a vague October release window for iOS 18.1 as part of its iPhone 16 announcements. But I should note that the Apple Intelligence features will still be called a beta and only available in US English to start. (Apple says it will launch Apple Intelligence in Chinese, French, Japanese, and Spanish starting next year.) The company’s arguably more powerful Apple Intelligence upgrades, like a tool to make images, a feature that lets you generate custom emoji, Siri improvements that let it understand your personal context, and integration with ChatGPT are rolling out on a very vague timeline of “later this year and in the months following.” There are some indications about when: Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that the image generation features will launch with iOS 18.2 in December, and Apple said at WWDC that the ChatGPT integration is set to launch “later this year.” But despite how much of a spotlight Apple is putting on its AI features, it’s being quite cagey about when those features might actually come out. Apple didn’t reply to a request for comment. Despite how much the big tech companies have talked about AI over the past year or two, there are still concerns about AI tools too. There’s the hallucinating and potential generating bad stuff and misinformation. And Apple Intelligence hasn’t exactly wowed beta testers with innovations or must-have tools. Apple’s slow rollout could give it time to work out issues. But do you want to wait around until it does? If you were looking at Apple’s AI features as the main reason to get a new phone, you probably shouldn’t. Maybe just wait to upgrade until next year — or at least until...

Apple is expected to introduce generative AI related features in their upcoming launch of iOS18 and iPadOS18 at WWDC 2024. If this is true, I am excited to see what Apple has to say about it and what are the improvements they have made with Siri. What do you guys think about this? #apple #WWDC2024 #generativeai #artificialintelligence #machinelearning

"To be truly useful, generative #AI will need to seep into #technology we already use in ways we can better understand and trust." Fully agree. #AI is a capability; much like computing. And while there are computers, computing itself has expanded far beyond a single device type. There will be AI products, and there will be AI apps, but the bigger change is having AI in all our products, devices, and apps. I also think that "on device" #AI will be a difference-maker, but I don't think enough #consumers will understand why until they use it. And the cynic in me says the biggest takeaway is that Apple is in full-on "push" mode to drive iPhone 16 purchases this fall. Offering #SiriThatWorks only on iPhone 15 (or newer) will prove to be a tipping point in demand. https://lnkd.in/ehv8cuuM

According to sources, Apple is reportedly in talks with Google to incorporate its Gemini artificial intelligence engine into the iPhone. If the talks are successful, this could result in a major agreement that would have a significant impact on the AI industry. The discussions between the two companies are said to be aimed at allowing Apple to license Gemini, which comprises a set of generative AI models developed by Google. This technology would be used to power new features that are planned for the iPhone software later this year. In addition to the negotiations with Google, sources suggest that Apple has also held talks with OpenAI, and is considering using its AI model. #GOOGLE #IPHONE #innovation #gemini #technology #ai #news

$AAPL top AI features are set for a gradual rollout, aiming for mid-2025 availability. Stay tuned for advancements in AI integration!: https://ibn.fm/hH8Dv #AI #ArtificalIntelligence #MachineLearning

Are they going to change Siri to Gemini or Siri will be part of the package? I am asking for a fried. Meanwhile this is happening how are you standing with understanding even the slightest basics on AI? Lets talk d&AI. #emergingtechnology #emergingtecheducation #unleashingknowledge

Yesterday, Apple announced that it is putting AI in nearly every corner of the iPhone - promising a personalised and integrated experience like never before. So, is this really a new era of innovation? Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eiuzy3RZ #AI #Innovation
