In recent months, there has been a surge in the development of artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots, with ChatGPT making waves in the industry. Tech giants like Microsoft and Google have also announced their plans to integrate AI technology into their products. Amidst this flurry of activity, Apple has been relatively quiet, leading some to believe that generative AI technology is not a priority for the company, and that it may be falling behind its competitors.
However, those familiar with Apples approach know that the company does not make bold proclamations about its projects until it has a tangible product to showcase. Apple CEO Tim Cook addressed this misconception in an interview with Reuters following the companys quarterly earnings call. He emphasized that generative AI research has been a long-standing initiative for Apple, and the company has been investing billions of dollars in research and development, with a significant portion allocated to AI.
While Apple may not be as overt in its AI initiatives as its rivals, Cook pointed out that AI will be integrated into Apples products to enhance user experiences, rather than being offered as standalone AI devices like ChatGPT. For instance, he highlighted features such as Live Voicemail Transcription in the upcoming iOS 17 as examples of how AI will power new functionalities in Apple products.
Apple has been incorporating machine learning features into its devices for years, utilizing the Neural Engine in its A-series and M-series chips. The company has made significant advancements in areas like computational photography, voicemail transcription, visual lookup, language translation, and augmented reality. This progress is exemplified by Apples hiring of Googles former Head of AI, John Giannandrea, as its Senior Vice President of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence Strategy.
Undoubtedly, AI has the potential to greatly enhance Apples voice assistant, Siri. Despite starting earlier than competitors like Alexa and Google Assistant, Siri lost its early lead, but Apple has been working to rectify that in recent years. It is likely that Giannandrea has been tasked with bolstering Siris capabilities.
Cook emphasized that while Apple may not have the same breadth of AI-centric services as other companies, AI and machine learning are fundamental core technologies embedded in every Apple product. Apples commitment to generative AI and machine learning remains strong, as evidenced by its substantial investments in research and development, the incorporation of AI features into its products, and the strategic hiring of top AI talent.
