Apple recently unveiled Apple Intelligence, its new personal intelligence system for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, at the WWDC keynote. This innovative system combines generative AI models with personal context to provide users with relevant and useful intelligence. Here are some key points to keep in mind about Apple Intelligence:
– Apple Intelligence will be integrated into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia.
– It leverages Apple silicon to understand and create language and images, perform actions across apps, and simplify tasks.
– The system prioritizes privacy with Private Cloud Compute, striking a balance between on-device processing and larger server-based models.
Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO, expressed excitement about this new development: “Our unique approach combines generative AI with a user’s personal context to deliver truly helpful intelligence in a private and secure way.” The features of Apple Intelligence include:
