According to news on February 29th, Apple's CEO Tim Cook stated at today's shareholder meeting that the company firmly believes in the tremendous breakthrough potential of generative artificial intelligence (AIGC), which is also the reason why Apple is making significant investments in this field.
Apple believes that generative artificial intelligence will bring revolutionary opportunities for users to enhance productivity, solve problems, and more.
Cook pledged that later this year, Apple will share the latest breakthroughs in the field of generative artificial intelligence, which will be a technology that redefines the future.
According to previous leaks and reports, Apple plans to introduce a host of artificial intelligence features in the upcoming iOS 18 release, particularly with Siri voice assistant undergoing a major upgrade and gaining natural conversation capabilities for the first time.
It is reported that since early 2023, Apple has been testing a large language model named "Ajax" (a generative artificial intelligence AI tool), which is being used to develop large language models and chatbots for Apple.
The purpose of this model is to add "auto-complete" and "auto-summarize" functions to Apple's core applications and productivity suite (including Pages and Keynote).
Additionally, the new Siri will have the ability to run locally offline, resulting in faster response times and increased privacy and security.
