‘Apple Intelligence’ will automatically choose between on-device and cloud AI

Apple is preparing to unveil a new AI system in the iPhone, iPad and Mac next week at WWDC 2024 – and it will be called Apple Intelligence, according to a report. report of Bloomberg. In addition to providing new “beta” AI capabilities across Apple platforms and apps, it will offer access to a new ChatGPT-like chatbot developed by OpenAI.

Apple reportedly won’t focus on cool AI features like image or video generation, and will instead focus on adding AI-powered summaries, answer suggestions, and an AI overhaul for Siri that could give you more control over apps while looking for apps with “broad appeal.”

Apple will use its “own OpenAI technology and tools” to power its new AI capabilities, according to Bloomberg. The company will use an algorithm to determine whether it can process a specific task on the device or whether it will need to send the query to a cloud server. Previous reports have pointed out how Apple could focus on using its own M2 chips in data centers with a Secure Enclave to say that data processed remotely is as secure as it would be on the device.

To address other potential security concerns, Bloomberg says Apple will not create profiles based on user data and will also create reports to show that your information is not being sold or read.

Bloomberg reports that iPad or Mac users will need devices with an M1 chip or later, while mobile requirements may be restricted to an iPhone 15 Pro or one of the iPhone 16 devices launching this fall. As reported by BloombergApple will not force users to use the new AI features and will cause the features to be activated.
