Apple’s AI Breakthrough at WWDC 2024: What to Expect

The WWDC 2024 event hosted by Apple will commence on Monday, June 10 and continue until June 14. Although the company has a strong focus on implementing generative AI technology in the iPhone and other devices, we are not fully aware of the specific details of its usage. Nonetheless, it has been announced that Siri will be upgraded with generative AI capabilities, enabling it to better compete with Google Assistant and OpenAI’s ChatGPT.

Following the release of the dates for Apple’s WWDC 2024 event, Greg Joswiak, an executive at Apple, hinted at the involvement of AI in their upcoming June announcements. In his most recent tweet, Joswiak mentioned:

Mark your calendars for #WWDC24, June 10-14. It’s going to be Absolutely Incredible!

During his announcement of the dates for WWDC 2024, he intentionally emphasized the first letters of the phrase “Absolutely Incredible!”suggesting that AI will play a significant role in upcoming releases. This is not the first instance where we have received information about Apple’s dedication to advancing AI technology for their products. In recent months, we have reported on Apple’s growing interest in implementing generative AI technology into the iPhone, with iOS 18 being the initial step in this direction.

The company has created an array of AI tools that have the capability to edit, manipulate, and animate static images using natural language commands. This feature is expected to be incorporated into the stock Photos app on the iPhone with the release of iOS 18. Following in the footsteps of Google, the company may also introduce generative AI utilities in the Google Photos app.

The CEO of Apple, Tim Cook, shares the same level of enthusiasm for AI and its potential to revolutionize the user experience on various products, including the iPhone. Cook has expressed that Apple is set to make significant strides in the field of AI this year, and the ideal platform for this showcase will be WWDC 2024.
