Apple in discussions with OpenAI, Google for iOS 18 AI support ...
Apple is set to announce new AI features at WWDC on June 10th, including the unveiling of iOS 18, which is expected to be the biggest update in iOS history. Siri is also rumored to be getting an AI makeover, generating excitement among iPhone users. Apple has reopened talks with OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, to incorporate AI features in iOS 18, with a focus on helping users handle everyday tasks more efficiently. The company is also in discussions with Google about licensing its Gemini AI chatbot for iOS 18.
Apple's Approach to AI Integration
Apple recently released open-source large language models designed to run locally on devices for faster and more private task completion. However, running AI tasks on device may limit access to more powerful servers for complex AI algorithms. It is speculated that Apple may allow some cloud-based AI features on iOS 18, powered by ChatGPT or Google’s Gemini. The decision on which company’s AI technology to use has not been finalized, with the possibility of entering into licensing agreements with both or neither.
Stay tuned for more updates on Apple's AI initiatives and the upcoming release of iOS 18!
