One of the biggest announcements during the conference was Apple’s deep integration of AI across its platforms, enabling various new abilities across its apps. For example, users will now be able to create custom AI emojis (also known as Genmoji) just by typing a prompt. AI will also be introduced to the Photos app, allowing users to edit and clean up photos easily; and the Notes app with the addition of AI-powered transcriptions.
Siri is about to get a big AI upgrade too, with the integration of OpenAI’s ChatGPT chatbot. This means that Siri will be able to tap into ChatGPT’s functions and expertise if the user allows it to. Siri will also be able to control apps on the device. For example, you can now ask Siri to find information inside an email or send a link to a group chat.
