A potential AI transformation for iPhones? - Apple confronts a huge contract.
Industry experts are convinced that the iPhone company will soon declare the start of the AI revolution - during their WWDC developer conference on June 10.
It's no coincidence: Reports say Apple is about to close a major deal. According to Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman, the tech conglomerate is in negotiations with OpenAI, the company behind the well-known AI program ChatGPT.
Siri 2.0 maybe?
The deal is aimed at incorporating ChatGPT's features into Apple's new iPhone operating system, iOS 18 (set for fall release), according to "Bloomberg," citing two sources. Fans are hopeful that the aging Siri voice assistant will also receive a major upgrade.
However, Apple appears unwilling to create its own AI for the time being and instead plans to use existing systems while paying for them. If a deal is struck with OpenAI, a sum in the billions would likely be involved. Apple is also in talks with Google about licensing the Gemini chatbot, but an agreement may still be further off than in negotiations with OpenAI.
Meanwhile, "Apple Insider" reports on a potential new feature for the iPhone: According to the outlet, Apple is currently testing how well AI can automatically transcribe voice memos. The AI should also be able to generate summaries with key information for longer audio recordings, making it convenient for university lectures or work conferences.
According to the report, Apple developers are also examining whether the AI can summarize websites in the Safari browser or chat messages in iMessage in the future.
Tweets from a top Apple manager
Which features will actually make it onto iPhones will only be confirmed at WWDC.
Apple top manager Greg Joswiak hinted at the event in June with a tweet: "Get ready for something Absolutely Incredible!" (German: Get ready for something absolutely incredible!). The Vice President of Marketing intentionally capitalized the letters AI, ignoring English spelling rules. It's the English abbreviation for artificial intelligence.
