Artificial Intelligence is designed to offer advanced AI features like photo search and Siri enhancements. It will soon be available for iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
With the launch of the iPhone 16, there is much talk about the role of AI and intelligence in smartphones. Apple has long been known for providing strong user privacy. Now, the company is doubling down on this commitment with Apple Intelligence. But what does this mean for AI privacy in practice?
Apple Intelligence is the company’s personal AI system, which utilizes generative models in conjunction with the user’s unique context to streamline multiple tasks. The system can be used by users in several apps. Many of the models that drive Apple Intelligence, according to the company, are fully device-based.
Apple Intelligence: Get Things Done Effortlessly
Built into your iPhone, iPad, and Mac, Apple Intelligence helps you write, express yourself, and get things done effortlessly. This AI system powers new writing tools, helping you find the right words virtually everywhere you write. As it provides enhanced language capabilities, you can summarize an entire lecture within a fraction of a second.
You can even get the short version of a long group thread while reducing unnecessary distractions with prioritized notifications.
Apple Intelligence also allows you to
- Create images to express yourself visually
- Generate expressive images, unique Genmoji, and custom memory movies
- Use ChatGPT integrated into Siri and Writing Tools
Keep Your Data With You
Integrated into the heart of your iPhone, iPad, and Mac through on-device processing, Apple Intelligence is built to safeguard your privacy at every step. It knows who you are without collecting personal information, thanks to Private Cloud Compute, a game-changer that allows Apple Intelligence to leverage larger server-based models running on Apple silicon to process more complex requests on your behalf.
At Apple’s Glowtime event, CEO Tim Cook emphasized the company’s commitment to innovation and user experience. He said, “Some people see innovation as change, but we have never really seen it like that. It’s making things better.”
He further added the significance of privacy. “We see that privacy is a fundamental human right that people have. We are going to do everything that we can to help maintain that trust.”
Speaking With Siri Becomes Easier
With Apple Intelligence, Siri gains brand-new abilities. Speaking with Siri is now easier than ever thanks to its completely redesigned interface, improved language understanding, and typing capability. Siri will be able to help users like never before as this AI assistant will have product knowledge about the capabilities and settings of the user’s devices, awareness of their personal context, and the ability to take action within and across apps.
Apple Intelligence will be available as free software updates, with initial features rolling out in US English for most regions by next month.
Recently, Apple has revealed the iPhone 16, with an emphasis on the artificial intelligence-infused capabilities of its flagship handset.
