Apple intelligence
Apple and technology companies around the world are racing to add AI to products, and phones are expected to be among the most important battlegrounds. The Cupertino, California-based company also is betting the AI feature will drive consumers to upgrade amid a slowdown in iPhone sales.
Apple Intelligence, the company’s AI software, will be used to improve Siri as well as enhancing features such as understanding and identifying objects captured by the phone camera, executives said.
A test version of Apple Intelligence will be available in the U.S. version of the English language next month.
It will be available for other localized versions of English in December, with versions in languages including Chinese, French, Japanese and Spanish next year.
Features including improvements to Siri will be rolled out over time, Apple said. It did not say, however, when it would move beyond test.
