Highlights Apple tests generative AI for enhanced Spotlight search on iOS and macOS. Generative AI to enable natural language requests for weather and app navigation. Apple to integrate AI across products including Apple Music and Keynote. Xcode programming software to receive AI updates for developer use. Apple is reportedly taking significant strides in artificial intelligence (AI), focusing on enhancing the Spotlight search with generative AI capabilities. According to Bloomberg, the tech giant is internally testing new AI features that aims to revolutionise how iOS and macOS users interact with their devices. This development could allow users to make natural language requests similar to ChatGPT, enabling them to obtain weather updates or navigate app features effortlessly. Apple Expanding AI Horizons Apple Expanding AI Horizons Beyond Spotlight, Apple is exploring the integration of generative AI across a spectrum of consumer-facing products. Innovations under consideration include automated playlist generation in Apple Music, dynamic slideshows in Keynote, and advanced search functionalities that could redefine user interaction with their devices. Developer-Focused Innovations Developer-Focused Innovations In addition to consumer-focused enhancements, Apple is extending its AI advancements to the developer community. The company plans to update its Xcode programming software with generative AI features, potentially allowing third-party developers to leverage these tools within the year. This initiative mirrors efforts by tech counterparts like Microsoft's GitHub Copilot and Amazon's CodeWhisperer, which utilize large language models to aid in code prediction and completion. Recent AI Contributions Recent AI Contributions Apple's recent contributions to the AI landscape include the release of MLX, an open-source machine learning framework optimized for Apple silicon chips, MGIE, a text-to-image editing AI model, and Keyframer, an AI animator. Despite Apple CEO Tim Cook's historically cautious stance on generative AI, he had confirmed during an investor call this month that the company is set to introduce more generative AI features in the coming year, signaling a more pronounced foray into AI technologies for Apple. FAQs What is Apple's latest development in AI technology? Apple is working on incorporating generative AI into Spotlight search, allowing iOS and macOS users to use natural language for tasks like getting weather updates and navigating app features. How will Apple's generative AI affect consumer products? Apple plans to use generative AI to automate playlist creation in Apple Music, generate dynamic slideshows in Keynote, and enhance search functionalities, offering users a more intuitive interaction with devices. What changes are expected for developers with Apple's AI updates? Apple aims to update its Xcode programming software with generative AI features, enabling developers to predict and complete code more efficiently, similar to Microsoft's GitHub Copilot and Amazon's CodeWhisperer. What recent AI tools has Apple released? Apple has recently launched MLX, a machine learning framework, MGIE, a text-to-image editing model, and Keyframer, an AI animator, demonstrating its commitment to advancing AI technology. When can we expect these AI features to be released? While specific release dates have not been provided, Apple CEO Tim Cook confirmed that more generative AI features are planned for this year, with announcements expected at major events like WWDC. Apple Developing AI Tool to Help Developers Write Code for Apps. Details? Apple is working on an updated version of Xcode that will include an AI tool for generating code, reports Bloomberg. The AI tool will be similar to GitHub Copilot from Microsoft, which can generate code based on natural language requests and convert code from one programming language to another. The Xcode AI tool will be able to predict and finish blocks of code, allowing developers to streamline their app creation process. Apple is now testing the functionality internally and plans to release it to third-party software developers "as early as this year." Apple is also testing AI-generated code for testing apps, and has asked some engineers to try these features out internally. The artificial intelligence capabilities added to Xcode will join several other AI features that Apple plans to add to Siri and other built-in apps. Some new features could include the option to generate playlists in Apple Music and create slideshows in Keynote, with Apple also working on improved Spotlight search capabilities. Search could encompass specific features in apps and might also provide responses to complex questions, with the feature built using large language models. According to Bloomberg, Apple software chief Craig Federighi has asked employees to create as many new AI features as possible for iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS 15. Apple plans to introduce "a slew of new AI features," and iOS 18 will be marketed as one of the biggest updates to the iPhone since it launched. Some of the AI features will come to macOS, but Apple plans to "take a gradual approach to AI development" with some features not coming "for years."
