Apple is reportedly close to bringing OpenAI’s AI tool ChatGPT to iOS 18. This follows talks between the two companies, but details remain unclear. Apple may also be discussing similar technologies with Google (Gemini). These rumors dovetail with Apple’s alleged plan for an AI app store that offers smaller AI models on devices and outsources larger ones. But these are just rumors.

Apple is also focusing on on-device processing for AI

Apple has been working on artificial intelligence for a while, and an announcement is expected at WWDC 2023. Potential features include AI-assisted browsing in Safari, a smarter Siri, and a built-in AI chat system.

Apple appears to be focusing on on-device processing for AI, which it highlighted at a recent event. They are also developing Ajax, an artificial intelligence system that can perform tasks Siri already performs, such as summarizing text and improving Spotlight search. Another rumor mentions built-in technology for summarizing voice notes.

This focus on on-device processing and responsible data collection (buying access to data rather than collecting it) sets Apple apart from some of its competitors.
