Apple Intelligence: A New Era in AI Integration
The much-awaited Apple’s annual WWDC (Worldwide Developers Conference) keynote just wrapped up on Monday, and this week’s TechUpdate talks about the exciting new developments in Apple Intelligence.
This AI-driven technology is built into your iPhone, iPad, and Mac to help you write, express yourself, and get things done effortlessly. It draws on your personal context while setting a brand-new standard for privacy in AI.
Write with Intelligent New Tools
Apple Intelligence powers new writing tools that help you find just the right words virtually everywhere you write. With enhanced language capabilities, you can summarize an entire lecture in seconds, get the short version of a long group thread, and minimize unnecessary distractions with prioritized notifications. These tools are available nearly everywhere you write, including third-party apps.
Priority Notifications
Priority notifications appear at the top of the stack, letting you know what to pay attention to at a glance. Notifications are summarized so you can scan them faster.
Priority Messages in Mail
Priority messages in Mail elevate time-sensitive messages to the top of your inbox, like an invitation with a deadline today or a check-in reminder for your flight this afternoon.
Summary of a Long Email
Tap to reveal a summary of a long email in the Mail app and cut to the chase. You can also view summaries of emails right from your inbox.
Call Summary
Just hit record in the Notes or Phone apps to capture audio recordings and transcripts. Apple Intelligence generates summaries of your transcripts, so you can get to the most important information at a glance.
Reduce Interruptions
Reduce Interruptions is an all-new Focus feature that understands the content of your notifications and shows you the ones that might need immediate attention, like a text about picking up your child from daycare later today.
Smart Reply
Use Smart Reply in Mail to quickly draft an email response with all the right details. Apple Intelligence can identify questions asked in an email and offer relevant selections to include in your response. With a few taps, you’re ready to send a reply with key questions answered.
Image Playground
Apple Intelligence enables delightful new ways to express yourself visually. Create fun, original images and brand-new Genmoji that are truly personal to you. Turn a rough sketch into a related image that complements your notes with Image Wand. Create a custom memory movie based on the description you provide.
Image Wand can transform your rough sketch into a related image in the Notes app. Use your finger or Apple Pencil to draw a circle around your sketch, and Image Wand will analyze the content around it to produce a complementary visual.
Clean Up Tool in Photos
Remove distractions in your photos with the Clean Up tool in the Photos app. Apple Intelligence identifies background objects so you can remove them with a tap, perfecting your shot while staying true to the original image.
Memory Movie
Create a custom memory movie of the story you want to see, right in Photos. Enter a description, and Apple Intelligence finds the best photos and videos that match. It crafts a storyline with unique chapters based on themes it identifies and arranges your photos into a movie with its own narrative arc.
The Start of a New Era for Siri
Apple is set to enhance its Siri voice assistant and operating systems with OpenAI’s ChatGPT, aiming to catch up in the AI race. Updates to iPhone and Mac OS will allow access to ChatGPT through a partnership with OpenAI. This integration will boost tools like text and content generation, available systemwide.
As a new iPhone user, I love this one. Siri will now answer thousands of questions about using your Apple device, even if you don’t know the exact feature name. This integration will arrive in iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia later this year, alongside other third-party AI models.
Privacy
Apple Intelligence is designed to protect your privacy at every step. It’s integrated into the core of your iPhone, iPad, and Mac through on-device processing, aware of your personal information without collecting it. With groundbreaking Private Cloud Compute, Apple Intelligence can draw on larger server-based models, running on Apple silicon, to handle more complex requests while protecting your privacy.
Apple Intelligence: Conclusion
However, the announcement hasn’t been welcomed by all. Elon Musk, owner of Tesla and Twitter/X, criticized the partnership, threatening to ban iPhones from his companies due to “data security” concerns.
Musk, who co-founded OpenAI in 2015 and stepped down from its board in 2018, called the software integration “an unacceptable security violation,” claiming Apple has “no clue what’s actually going on.”
In response, Apple assured users that they will be asked for permission and their requests and information will not be logged.
