One of the areas of human activity that is effectively automated through artificial intelligence is software development, and Microsoft Corporation already offers program developers the GitHub Copilot profiling tool through active cooperation with OpenAI. Apple is said to be preparing something similar.

Similar information is distributed by Bloomberg with reference to traditional knowledgeable sources. According to them, Apple has been working on a major update to Xcode for the last 12 months; This update will add a toolset for developing applications for Apple platforms that uses artificial intelligence to speed up the writing of software code. The company is currently actively testing the relevant functions within its own team of developers, but these functions will be available to Apple customers by the end of this year.

The new toolkit for developers will run on the GitHub Copilot example, predict the needs of programmers and offer to automatically add a block of code using the algorithms of a large language model. This will speed up the application creation process and make it cheaper by automating certain stages of the process.

Meanwhile, Apple plans to use AI for initial software testing and debugging. Most likely, Apple’s statements on this subject will be heard at WWDC in June. Apple’s full-time developers have been tasked by the management to prepare as many new functions related to the use of artificial intelligence as possible for the next iOS update.

Profile updates are for new versions of iOS, iPadOS and macOS, but progress in all these areas will not be the same as some innovations will be implemented over the next few years. The company will use artificial intelligence as well as the company’s Siri voice assistant to improve user applications and search functions. The latter will learn to competently answer rather complex questions, and the AppleCare technical support service will more actively use robots to communicate with customers.
