Who knows how this will turn out? The corporation and Google are still in communication.
According to a fresh story published by Bloomberg, Apple has resumed negotiations with OpenAI, the company that built ChatGPT, in order to power some artificial intelligence technologies that will be included in iOS 18. The conversations that Apple is having with OpenAI are centered around a “chatbot/search component,” according to a reporter for Bloomberg named Mark Gurman. Apple is also working on its own massive language models to power some of the capabilities that would be included in iOS 18.
According to reports, Apple is also in discussions with Google to license Gemini, Google’s very own chatbot powered by artificial intelligence, for iOS 18. According to Bloomberg, such discussions are still ongoing, and it is possible that things could play out in either direction because Apple has not yet made a definitive decision over which company’s technology to utilize. It is possible, according to Gurman, that Apple will finally decide to license artificial intelligence technology from one of the two businesses or none of them.
Apple has, up until this point, remained remarkably quiet about its artificial intelligence (AI) activities, despite the fact that the rest of Silicon Valley has entered into an AI arms race. In spite of this, it has provided sufficient clues to suggest that it is preparing something or other. President and Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook stated that Apple is continuing to work and invest in artificial intelligence and that the business is “excited to share the details of our ongoing work in that space later this year.” This statement was made in February, when the company released its profits. It asserted that the brand new M3 MacBook Air, which it introduced a month ago, was the “world’s best consumer laptop for artificial intelligence,” and it is rumored that it will begin launching laptops and desktops that cater to artificial intelligence later on in this year. Additionally, earlier this week, Apple released a few open-source large language models that are intended to be operated locally on devices rather than in the cloud. These models are designed to be used for a variety of purposes.
The artificial intelligence (AI) technologies that Apple will include in iPhones and other devices are not yet fully understood. To this day, generative artificial intelligence is notoriously unreliable and prone to make up answers. A number of recently released artificial intelligence-powered devices, such as the Humane Ai Pin, have received negative reviews, while others, such as the Rabbit R1, have not yet demonstrated their usefulness.
