It is a fact that iOS 18 will receive a significant improvement in terms of artificial intelligence, here is a part of Apple’s work that will be shown at WWDC 2024
The first look at iOS 18 is getting closer than ever and it has been learned through reports and rumors that Apple is implementing AI implementations in its operating system. Thanks to a report from AppleInsider, it is known that there will be improvements in the native apps of iOS 18 and in some of its functions such as Spotlight, Siri and Safari. All thanks to the functionality of Apple’s Ajax Large Language Model (LLM).
Apple’s generative AI will be very different from those that already exist
Apple thinks that implementing generative AI will be solely and exclusively beneficial for users, in addition to the fact that privacy will prevail over any reason. It will not be an AI through a chatbot but rather it will be a substantial improvement through its apps. Some functions that have been seen are related to text summary, document analysis and search options enhanced by AI. Text summary will be available in Safari 18 and will work through a smart search feature. Apple software will be able to analyze keywords and phrases to offer a summary with the most relevant information.
As for Siri, it will integrate a little more with Messages so that it can analyze the content sent and received in such a way that the AI can generate responses. In general, the tests carried out on Ajax are interesting. Apple has a very important feature, the generation of long sentence responses. By entering some text, the AI generates these responses in milliseconds. Apple’s Ajax will check factors like contact names, for example, to display the information if it’s required. It will also establish a link to the Calendar to take into account its content to create a response.
User privacy will not be compromised
Surely Apple will convince us that its new features do not compromise our informationespecially speaking when you have access to our information, conversations and so on. Most likely to align with features that already exist like iCloud Private Relay.
Based on testing in Apple’s environment, there are important privacy caveats. As always, Apple takes precautions in notifying us when certain apps will perform actions, Ajax LLM will show a message when using any information from Safari, Messages or another related app.
One of the strengths that Apple will have in terms of Information privacy is cloud-based processing that will be eliminated in the simplest situations. Privacy is achieved by not transmitting or sending user information or data.
There is no doubt that Siri will be an improved version in iOS 18 due to the AI that it will process on our devices.. It will also serve to ensure greater privacy protection. We’ll see how Apple explains it at WWDC 2024.
