Apple released a beta version of its Apple Intelligence features, including the highly-anticipated ChatGPT integration. These features are part of the iOS 18.2 release for software developers, with the official public release scheduled for next week. The new capabilities include the ability to rewrite text, generate new emojis, remove objects from photos, and integrate with OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
The ChatGPT integration allows users to access more sophisticated responses from the chatbot when Siri identifies a question that it cannot answer. Users can use ChatGPT in text fields to generate text and in features like Visual Intelligence to identify objects and translate text in real time through the phone’s camera. The partnership with OpenAI has helped the company reach a valuation of $157 billion.
Although Apple has not disclosed financial details of the partnership, they have indicated that other AI models like those from Google may also integrate with Apple Intelligence in the future. Apple is releasing these features to spur iPhone upgrades, as they are only available on newer devices. The company is slowly rolling out its AI features to users and is expected to introduce the ability for Siri to take actions inside apps soon.
Overall, Apple’s move into the AI space with Apple Intelligence and the ChatGPT integration showcases the company’s commitment to leveraging AI technologies to enhance user experiences and drive product innovation.
