In the world of tech, where artificial intelligence is becoming as common as WiFi hotspots in public spaces, Apple fans have been buzzing with the question: When will Apple join the AI race with something like ChatGPT? Well, the tech giant has hinted that it might be sooner than we think—possibly next year!
Apple's head honcho, Tim Cook, has been chatting quite a bit about AI lately, and he just dropped a big signal that they're cooking up their own AI magic. While sharing the company's financial scorecard with investors, someone popped the question: "What's Apple doing with AI?" Tim Cook didn't spill all the beans, but he did say that Apple's been tinkering with AI in ways we use every day—like in the Apple Watch that can call for help if you crash your car or check your heartbeat.
But when the talk turned to the fancy AI that can chat like a human, Cook played it coy, only saying, "We've got something in the works." He kept it mysterious, but made a promise—whatever Apple's AI will be, it'll be something that's done thoughtfully and will play a big role in new gadgets and features.
For those keeping track, this isn't the first time Tim's let slip that Apple's been playing in the AI sandbox. A while back, he mentioned that Apple's been digging into all sorts of AI stuff for quite some time. He's a big believer in AI's wow-factor but also says they've got to iron out some kinks.
The word on the street (thanks to tech whisperer Mark Gurman at Bloomberg) is that Apple's hard at work, aiming to show off this new AI tech with their next big software update—iOS 18. And guess what? Siri might just get a lot smarter, along with other apps like Apple Music and Xcode.
So, for anyone who's been dreaming of having a heart-to-heart with their iPhone, stay tuned—Apple might just make that dream come true!
