AI's next big leap is in autonomous agents, and guess what? Apple's about to drop a bombshell in the AI arena! For ages, people were like, "What's Apple up to while everyone else is AI-crazy?" Well, turns out, they've been cooking up something massive!
So, picture this: WWDC 2024 rolls around, and bam! Apple drops "Apple Intelligence" on us. Great takeover of the brand. At least it has an “I” in it which they already own. I was shooting for a rebrand with “Augmented Intelligence.” It's not just a tweak or a feature; it's a whole new AI universe baked right into iOS 18. This is not your typical AI show-off with fancy image or video tricks; Apple's going for the stuff that makes your daily grind easier.
Now, here's where it gets juicy. Apple's teamed up with the big brains at OpenAI to make this magic happen. They're blending Apple's secret sauce with OpenAI's top-tier tech to give us Apple Intelligence, a powerhouse of AI goodness. Think next-level chatbots like ChatGPT on steroids, with smart summaries, snappy replies, and Siri kicking things up a notch. Siri has been waiting a long time for this.
But hold onto your hats, folks, 'cause Apple's not stopping there. They're flipping the script with on-device AI, thanks to their OpenELM models. Translation: your device becomes a mini AI powerhouse, slashing lag time and locking down your privacy like Fort Knox.
Privacy? Oh yeah, Apple's got your back. They've been shouting about data security forever, and they're keeping that fire burning with Apple Intelligence. By crunching simpler tasks on your device and saving the heavy lifting for super-secure servers, your data stays safer than a secret agent's briefcase. By processing data locally, Apple reduces the risk of breaches and unauthorized access, a significant consideration given the stringent requirements of the GDPR and the forthcoming AI Act in the EU. Plus, making all this AI jazz opt-in puts you in the driver's seat, keeping those snoopy eyes away.
And hey, it's not just about making life easier. Apple's setting the stage for a future where your phone's not just a gadget; it's your personal sidekick. It's like having a tiny genius in your pocket, ready to tackle whatever life throws at you.
Let’s see if this is a better launch than the Vision Pro launch.

Sony Pictures CEO announces controversial change to films and TV shows
During an investor event on May 30, CEO Tony Vinciquerra claimed that Sony, which has produced popular movies such as “Jumanji” and “The Equalizer,” will be hevily investing in ways to produce films and TV shows using artificial intelligence. Hopefully he realizes he can use the same crews, just give them the tools.
Wrapping our heads around AI and Climate
This is a lively conversation with Alp Kucukelbir, co-author of a recent “Artificial Intelligence for Climate Change Mitigation Roadmap,” about the strengths and limits of AI in relation to climate, where it all might be headed, and how concerned we should be about the energy use of data centers.
