Apple’s annual WWDC developer conference kicks off on June 10 this year. As part of the event, the iPhone maker is expected to make several important announcements about what AI-based features await users of the company’s devices. According to network sources, Apple will also officially announce its collaboration with OpenAI, the developer of the popular artificial intelligence bot ChatGPT.

The message states that Apple plans to implement support for artificial intelligence-based functions not only on devices but also through cloud infrastructure. Apple and OpenAI, according to Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman (Mark Gurman) “They are preparing an important announcement about their partnership at WWDC”. He also added that OpenAI is currently assessing the capacity of existing resources to ensure the company can accommodate the new influx of customers that iPhone owners will bring.

Earlier, the media had learned that the companies were in the final stages of negotiations on the implementation of ChatGPT AI bot support in iOS 18. The talks appear to have been successful. It was also reported that Apple was in talks with Google about using the Gemini algorithm on the iPhone, but the companies could not reach an agreement.

In addition to the integration of OpenAI technologies, iOS 18 is also expected to announce other AI features, such as the ability to generalize messages in iMessage using a neural network. A similar function for the Safari browser will produce summary information about the web pages viewed.
