Apple Developing “Apple GPT” Language Model

Apple, the $3 trillion technology giant that is now worth more than the entire UK stock market, announced it is venturing into the fiercely competitive field of AI with the development of its new AI tool, 'Apple GPT', codename 'AJAX'. This new AI service under development signifies Apple's foray into the race of Large Language Model, traditionally dominated by firms like OpenAI and Google.

While details of the ambitious project are still under wraps, speculations and possibilities regarding its applications are making waves in the tech industry. Among the possibilities being discussed is the integration of Apple GPT into Apple's existing suite of services, which includes iMessage, Keynote, Pages, and Health.

Here are some speculative integrations of Apple GPT we could see by 2024:

iMessage Integration

The iMessage service, already boasting end-to-end encryption, could see a massive upgrade with the integration of Apple GPT. By understanding the context and semantics of the unique user conversations, Apple GPT could potentially offer smart, contextual responses, streamline scheduling, and organize reminders directly from the chat interface. Moreover, this could pave the way for real-time language translation.

Keynote Integration

The integration of Apple GPT into Keynote could revolutionize the way presentations are created and delivered. An AI tool that not only helps with the design and layout of slides but also generates content based on user prompts could speed up content creation by 10 fold. It could even provide real-time suggestions to enhance the quality of presentations and facilitate a more interactive audience engagement, turning Keynote into a truly dynamic tool.

Pages Integration

When it comes to Pages, Apple GPT will be a game-changer for authors, students, and professionals. By providing contextual recommendations and corrections, and instant formatting (no more looking up APA style guides) an integration like this would drastically speed up the writing experience. It could aid in creating outlines for essays, suggest improvements to sentences, and even assist in generating content for complex topics.

Health Data Integration

Perhaps the most intriguing of all possible integrations is in the realm of health data. As health tracking becomes more prevalent with devices like the Apple Watch, integrating Apple GPT could potentially add a level of predictive and diagnostic intelligence, previously unseen. It could analyze users' health data, offer insights, provide suggestions for healthier habits, or even identify patterns that may be indicative of potential health risks.

Consider this: The effectiveness of an AI system is inherently linked to the quality and volume of the data it has access to. Imagine if the years of data you have stored on iCloud - including health metrics, iMessage interactions, photographs, and calendar entries - could be utilized by Apple GPT and Siri. This duo could transform into the most potent AI assistant yet witnessed.

They would understand your patterns, evolve alongside you, and even potentially serve as your personalized life guide, continually on the lookout for your well-being. This level of deep, personalized assistance, enabled by your own rich data tapestry, could redefine what it means to have an AI assistant.

Google Tests A.I. Tool That Is Able to Write News Articles: Google is reportedly testing a new AI tool internally known as Genesis, which can generate news articles by taking in information about current events. The product has been demonstrated to executives from major news organizations, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, and News Corp, which owns The Wall Street Journal. However, some have raised concerns about its impact on journalistic credibility and the responsible use of generative AI in newsrooms. Google has clarified that these tools are not intended to “replace” journalists but offer writing style options. For now.

Capgemini and Microsoft collaborate to transform industries with accelerated generative AI implementations: Capgemini and Microsoft have collaborated to create the Azure Intelligent App Factory, an initiative aimed at accelerating generative AI implementations in various industries. The platform combines Capgemini’s industry knowledge data, and AI expertise with Microsoft’s market-leading technology, including Microsoft Cloud, Azure OpenAI Service, and GitHub Copilot. The Azure Intelligent App Factory is designed to help organizations maximize their AI investments, implement AI solutions responsibly, and drive tangible business outcomes.

Digital artist's work copied more times than Picasso: Digital artist Greg Rutkowski’s work has been used as a prompt in AI tools generating art over 400,000 times since September 2022, without his consent. Generative AI platforms like Midjourney, Dall-E, NightCafe, and Stable Diffusion scrape billions of images from the internet to produce new artworks, causing concerns among artists about their future work.

AI Won’t Replace Human Spies, Says Britain’s MI6 Chief: The head of Britain’s MI6, Richard Moore, stated in a public speech that AI won’t replace human intelligence gathering, as certain “human factors” are still beyond AI’s replication capabilities. Moore highlighted the unique characteristics of human agents in intelligence operations, emphasizing the value of human relationships in gathering crucial information. (though MI6 is already using AI to identify and disrupt weapons supply in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine)

AI21 Labs debuts Contextual Answers, a plug-and-play AI engine for enterprise data: AI21 Labs has introduced Contextual Answers, a plug-and-play generative AI engine aimed at helping enterprises leverage their data assets more effectively.

AI tool creates South Park episodes with user in starring role: Fable Simulation, a US-based company, has introduced an AI tool called, “AI Showrunner” that can create episodes of the popular animated series South Park, featuring users as the central characters. The tool, utilizing generative AI, allows users to provide a one- or two-sentence prompt, generating a unique episode complete with animation, voices, and editing. However, Fable Simulation emphasized that the South Park experiment was conducted solely for research purposes and won’t be made available to the public.

Elon Musk says Tesla will spend $1 billion to build a 'Dojo' A.I. supercomputer—but it wouldn't be necessary if Nvidia could just supply more chips: Tesla’s CEO, Elon Musk, is eyeing a substantial investment of over $1 billion to create an AI supercomputer known as “Dojo,” driven by the scarcity of Nvidia’s advanced AI training chips. Musk’s admiration for Nvidia’s CEO, Jensen Huang, is evident as he seeks to acquire the highly sought-after A100 tensor core GPU clusters. Tesla’s ambitious goal of achieving a compute capability of 100 exaFLOPS highlights its relentless demand for AI chips. Musk’s pursuit of full autonomy for Tesla vehicles hinges on Dojo’s potential, relying on extensive camera data and custom silicon to train the vehicles’ intelligence.

US judge finds flaws in artists' lawsuit against AI companies: U.S. District Judge William Orrick has urged the artists involved in the lawsuit against generative AI companies to offer more clarity and differentiation in their claims against Stability AI, Midjourney, and DevianArt. Judge Orrick expressed skepticism about the plausibility of their works being involved, given that the AI systems have been trained on an extensive dataset of “five billion compressed images.” He also cast doubt on the claim pertaining to output images, as he found little substantial similarity between the artists’ creations and the AI-generated images.

NYC subway using AI to track fare evasion: New York City’s subway stations have quietly introduced surveillance software powered by artificial intelligence to identify fare evaders, as revealed in public documents obtained by NBC News. The system, developed by Spanish company, AWAAIT, is currently operational in seven stations and is expected to expand to approximately two dozen more by year-end. The Metropolitan Transit Authority seeks to address fare evasion concerns and assess lost revenue.
