Apple Intelligence is an artificial intelligence platform developed by Apple Inc.[1] Relying on a combination of on-device and server processing, it was announced on June 10, 2024, at WWDC 2024 as an integration for Apple's iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia operating systems, which were announced alongside Apple Intelligence.
As a result of the company's partnership with OpenAI, Apple Intelligence includes an integration with ChatGPT, allowing Siri to determine when to send certain complex user requests to ChatGPT.[2]
Functionality and features
 |
Writing tools
Apple Intelligence features writing tools that are powered by AI, including a Rewrite feature. This feature helps enhances a users’ writing to make it more friendly, concise and professional, similar to Grammarly’s AI features. It can also be used to generate summaries, key points, tables, and lists from an article or piece of writing.[3][4]
Image generation
Apple Intelligence can also be used to generate images on-device, mainly using the Image Playground app. Similarly to OpenAI’s DALL-E, it can be used to generate images using AI, using phrases and descriptions to create an image. Additionally, it can be used to create Genmojis, which are custom emojis made via AI image generation that can be used system wide.[5]
Development
Background
In October 2015, Apple Inc. acquired Perceptio, an on-device artificial intelligence modeling company.[6] Following the acquisition, Apple engaged in efforts to ensure its artificial intelligence operations remained covert; according to University of California, Berkeley professor Trevor Darrell, the company's secrecy deterred graduate students.[7]
The Private Cloud Compute platform powering Apple Intelligence is designed heavily with user privacy and end-to-end encryption in mind.[8]
