Apple has announced that its yearly Worldwide Developer Conference will begin on June 10 and it is expected that the company would showcase its newest artificial intelligence innovations during that event.
The conference, which is a big highlight for Apple software news every year, is scheduled to take place from Monday, June 10 to Friday, June 14.
This year’s WWDC is anticipated to center on Apple’s AI initiatives, while last year’s event was centered around the introduction of the Vision Pro mixed reality headset, which went on sale in shops in February. According to reports, the business is considering licensing and integrating Google’s Gemini AI engine—which offers chatbots and other AI tools—into future iPhone models and iOS 18.
Apple has conspicuously been left out of the narrative as more tech companies invest billions of dollars in the creation and implementation of artificial intelligence, and many of them making significant progress in this area. If Apple and Google partnered, Apple would be thrust significantly into the escalating AI arms competition.
Additionally, Apple researchers recently announced the development of a family of multimodal models, or MM1. A multimodal model is an artificial intelligence system that has the ability to simultaneously read and generate many sorts of data, such as text and images. These researchers’ report claimed that the new techniques have “superior abilities” and can reply to text and visuals with advanced reasoning and in-context learning.
Apple announced in a press statement on Tuesday that software updates for the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and Vision Pro headset will also be discussed at WWDC 2024.
