– Apple is in talks with OpenAI, Baidu, and Google to integrate artificial intelligence into iOS 18
– Rumors suggest that ChatGPT maker, a Microsoft-backed company, may be involved in the upgrades
– Apple is aiming to enhance apps like Notes, Fitness, Pages, and Podcasts with generated content and text summaries, with the focus on running AI locally
As Apple’s WWDC developer conference approaches, rumors are swirling about how Apple will integrate artificial intelligence into its ecosystem and which company will provide the AI. Speculation has included talks with Google, Baidu, and now, OpenAI, specifically regarding the ChatGPT model.
Apple has previously worked with OpenAI on AI functionality for iOS, and it is likely that iOS 18 will make it easier for developers to integrate various AI models into their apps. Apple is also developing its own AI models, with the intention of running AI features on device rather than in the cloud.
There are rumors that iOS 18 will see a major AI upgrade, with enhancements to apps like Notes, Fitness, Pages, and Podcasts to include generated content and text summaries. It is speculated that AI will be used to make iOS more user-friendly and customizable, with Siri being a key focus for upgrades.
Partnerships with third-party companies like OpenAI and Google may be involved in the integration of AI features into iOS 18, although Apple has indicated a preference for running AI locally rather than in the cloud. The full extent of these AI rumors will likely be revealed at WWDC on June 10.
