Apple has been working on artificial intelligence projects for months. The Apple brand is in fact behind in this area compared to its direct competitors Microsoft, Google and OpenAI among others. But that could change in 2024, in fact the Cupertino company is moving forward and promises big changes for this year.
If WWDC should be the highlight of this year, an invention patent has already been published by Apple researchers and a doctoral student from the University of CaliforniaSanta Barbara. They have developed an artificial intelligence system (MGIE) which allows images to be modified in plain language.
According to the description of the AI model that they set up, it would be possible to crop and resize images. It will also be possible to add filters to images or text. The language model is thus able to “imagine” the user's requests and apply them to images.
AI is coming with a bang in 2024?
The arrival of this AI-related functionality is only the beginning for Apple and there is no guarantee that this functionality will one day be present.in an iOS update. The iPhone's operating system is expected to undergo a big update in a few months, which will largely be linked to artificial intelligence.
The biggest AI-related features coming to the iPhone are largely expected to focus on Siri, the voice assistant for Apple devices. The Apple brand could also launch new machine learning features on its Apple Music, Pages or Xcode applications.
For the moment, few rumors are circulating on this subject and we will have to wait until June and WWDC to know all the functionalities linked to artificial intelligence. In recent months, several manufacturers have been developing AI in their smartphones. This is particularly the case for Samsung with its latestGalaxy S24.
