It is a fact that iOS 18 will receive a significant improvement in terms of artificial intelligence, here is some of Apple’s work that will be presented at WWDC 2024
The first preview of iOS 18 is getting closer than ever and there have been reports and rumors that Apple is implementing AI implementations in its operating system. Thanks to a report from AppleInsider, we know that there will be improvements in the native applications of iOS 18 and in some of its functions such as Spotlight, Siri and Safari. All thanks to the functionality of Apple’s Ajax Large Language Model (LLM).
Apple’s generative AI will be very different from those that already exist
Apple believes that the implementation of generative AI will only and exclusively benefit users, in addition to the fact that privacy will prevail over any reason. It will not be an AI via a chatbot but rather a substantial improvement via its applications. Some features seen are related to text summarization, document analysis, and AI-enhanced search options.. The text summary will be available in Safari 18 and will work through a smart search feature. Apple software will be able to analyze keywords and expressions to provide a summary with the most relevant information.
As for Siri, it will integrate a little more with Messages to be able to analyze the content sent and received so that the AI can generate responses
User privacy will not be compromised
Apple will surely convince us that its new features do not compromise our informationespecially when you have access to our information, conversations, etc. Most likely to align with already existing features like iCloud Private Relay.
Based on testing in the Apple environment, there are significant privacy caveats. As always, Apple takes precautions by notifying us when certain applications will perform actions, Ajax LLM will display a message when using information from Safari, Messages, or another associated application..
One of the advantages that Apple will have in terms of Information privacy is cloud-based processing that will be eliminated in the simplest situations. Privacy is achieved by not transmitting or sending information or data about users.
There is no doubt that Siri will be an improved version in iOS 18 because of the AI it will process on our devices.. This will also serve to ensure better privacy protection. We’ll see how Apple explains it at WWDC 2024.
