iOS 18 pretends to be one of the Biggest software updates in Apple history since it is likely to be the first Big Apple operating system where generative AI is truly integrated. Just as Tim Cook and his team have been acting in recent days, even in the press release of the new MacBook Air with M3 chip, it is increasingly clear that the AI is going to be important in iOS 18. In fact, Apple confirmed a few hours ago that bought the startup DarwinAI at the beginning of the year, a company dedicated exclusively to artificial intelligence and part of its team is already incorporated into Apple's AI team.
DarwinAI, a small AI startup that will join the Apple team
Without a doubt, the coming months will be abuzz with news and rumors surrounding the new operating systems that will see the light of day in the month of June, at WWDC24. Much of the rumors revolve around the integration of large artificial intelligence functions and there is even talk of exclusive functions in the Pro models of the iPhone. This would guarantee good integrative behavior between software and hardware.
In addition, Apple has gone out of its way to purchase small companies and businesses to improve its products, as confirmed Bloomberg. A few hours ago we knew that The startup DarwinAI had been acquired by Apple at the beginning of the year. This company was specifically dedicated to the creation of artificial intelligence technology aimed at the automation and inspection of components during the manufacturing period and even the creation of smaller, more efficient AI circuits and integrated systems for companies.
In fact, Some DarwinIA workers have already joined Apple's AI team. As is the case of Alexander Wong, who was in charge of setting up DarwinIA in his day, and now leads the artificial intelligence team within the Big Apple. Thanks to these purchases by Apple, it is guaranteed on the one hand engineers that allow you to improve your products y technology from already created companies.
