Apple is set to introduce new artificial intelligence features in iOS 18, including Generative AI, at its WWDC event on June 10. However, these features will be optional due to concerns about security and privacy among users. The company aims to catch up with competitors by unveiling these new AI functions on June 10 at its WWDC event.
One of the highlights of the event is expected to be Apple’s collaboration with OpenAI, allowing for the incorporation of advanced chatbot technology on iPhones running iOS 18. Despite the exciting new features, there are concerns about data privacy and security.
Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman reported that some AI functions will be disabled by default and optional for users. This cautious approach is a response to potential access to user data by third-party companies through these new AI-powered features.
Apple has also developed its own language model, known as Ajax, which powers additional AI features in iOS 18. These features are not expected to raise the same privacy and security concerns as those from collaborating companies. Overall, Apple is striving to balance innovation with user privacy and security in its upcoming iOS release.
