Summary

  • Apple has been praised for its approach to on-device AI, which helps protect the privacy of its users.
  • At its annual conference this week, it unveiled three new features that dive further into on-device AI, and in some cases, cement its place as a leader in the field.
  • The first feature sees the new iOS alert users to potentially suspicious texts from unknown senders, catching anything it thinks might be a scam.
  • The second feature expands on the caller ID function, picking up on unknown callers and transcribing the information so you can decide whether to pick up.
  • The final feature is live translation for iMessage and voice memos, allowing for real-time translations of messages.
  • The roll out of these features maintains Apple’s privacy-focused approach to technology and segregates user data from the likes of Meta and Google.
  • Furthermore, it allows Apple to compete with the likes of OpenAI, having also integrated its ChatGPT function into its system.
