Apple appears to be gearing up to enter the field of artificial intelligence and is reportedly working on its own Large Language Model (LLM) that could potentially power an AI system referred to as "Apple GPT." The company has been intensifying its efforts in recent months, with several teams collaborating on the project, focused on incorporating AI technologies into its ecosystem.
Last year, Apple set up the Ajax foundation to work on machine learning development, but it is now shifting its focus primarily towards productive AI technologies. The company aims to create an AI system that aligns well with its products and services while also addressing privacy concerns surrounding the technology.
Apple CEO, Tim Cook, has expressed interest in the AI field and acknowledged the use of ChatGPT while closely following advancements in the AI space. However, he believes that productive AI technologies still have significant progress to make.
Sources close to the matter have revealed that Apple has deployed its internally developed "Apple GPT" for employee use at work. The chatbot, accessible through a web browser, bears similarities to Google Bard and Microsoft Bing AI. While deployment was initially halted last year due to security concerns, it has since been expanded to include more employees.
As for the public release of this new AI technology, specific details remain unclear. Apple has been tight-lipped about its plans for the technology's public debut, leaving enthusiasts and industry watchers eagerly awaiting further announcements from the tech giant.
