Apple's artificial intelligence software will screen your calls, decipher your texts, and help you with your workouts, but it is not yet ready to make Siri smarter.
Although artificial intelligence technology is not yet ready to advance Apple's voice assistant, it will be utilized to screen unknown phone calls, translate messages in real time, and aid runners throughout their exercises.
At its Worldwide Developers Conference in California on Tuesday (local time), the US tech giant unveiled plans for future AI features and a number of impending software updates for its computers, tablets, and smartphones.
However, in a move that one analyst predicted would surprise the market, the company also disclosed that it will require "additional time" to enhance the capabilities of its AI-powered voice assistant Siri.
Despite the delay, the event's software improvements, which included a significant redesign of how devices manage calls and texts, were dominated by artificial intelligence.
According to Craig Federighi, senior vice-president of Apple software engineering, artificial intelligence (AI) software will be essential to transforming how people use personal technology.
We started a journey last year to provide users with intelligence that is useful, relevant, user-friendly, and at the exact moment they need it, he stated.
We are embedding features in many more locations across each of our operating systems, and the models that underlie Apple Intelligence are getting more competent and efficient.
Call Screening, which automatically responds and gathers information from unknown callers, Live Translation, which can translate messages and phone calls into other languages, and updates that allow users to search the web for images they see on screen are just a few of the AI tools that will be available on Apple devices.
With a feature dubbed Workout Buddy, which claims to use individual fitness history to customize sessions, exercise—including indoor and outdoor runs—will also benefit from artificial intelligence. Future software releases from Apple will be titled for the year and have a translucent design known as Liquid Glass.
Shortly after declaring that the business was not yet prepared to use AI to enhance Siri's skills, Federghi added that developers will have access to Apple's on-device AI model to create apps.
We are still trying to introduce the features that make Siri even more personal, he told the crowd.
We look forward to sharing more about this effort in the upcoming year, although it took longer to reach our high-quality bar.
Even though Apple has shown a comprehensive plan to incorporate AI technology into its platforms, Creative Strategies technology expert Carolina Milanesi said the company's failure to enhance its assistant with AI was unexpected.
She stated, I do not think what Apple provided and what the analysts expected were the same.
A more individualized experience is what Siri would provide, but that does not imply Apple lacks intelligence at this time.
Customizable iPad app windows, a dedicated Games app, and the introduction of MacOS Tahoe—the final operating system to support Intel-based computers—were among the other Apple software updates revealed during the event.
