After purchasing the Canadian startup DarwinAI, Apple has recently increased its AI ambitions. It occurs just months before the iOS 18 software from the maker of the iPhone is released, and this year marks Apple’s first significant foray into generative AI.

The AI section of the iPhone manufacturer has welcomed DarwinAI’s staff after Apple acquired the company earlier this year, according to Bloomberg, which quotes “people with knowledge of the matter, who asked not to be identified because the deal hasn’t been announced.”

Bloomberg explains how DarwinAI creates technology that can “inspect components during the manufacturing process” ahead of the release of iOS 18, which is already planned to include a number of interesting AI-enabled features.

DarwinAI will also help Apple in particular because the company has created technology that can reduce the size and speed of AI systems. According to Bloomberg, Apple, which is focusing on implementing AI on devices rather than fully in the cloud, would find that useful.

Along with some very talented employees, Apple now has access to DarwinAI to help build AI as iOS 18 takes shape. Alexander Wong, an AI researcher at the University of Waterloo who assisted in the business’s development, is one of these, according to Bloomberg.

Wong will presumably be leading Apple’s generative AI initiative in advance of the release of iOS 18 and beyond in his new capacity as director of the company’s AI Group.

Undoubtedly, Apple has made a significant move with the acquisition of DarwinAI, which may provide it with the necessary credentials to effectively compete with competitors like Google and Microsoft in the AI market. It also clarifies the significant intentions for iOS 18 that have been discussed for 2024.

Several new AI-based capabilities are anticipated to be included in iOS 18, the improved iPhone operating system, when it premieres at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). It was revealed last year that the manufacturer of iPhones was utilising AI to test iOS 18 for flaws and to enhance the software’s overall efficiency.

The iPhone maker’s extensive language model Ajax serves as the foundation for more iOS 18 innovations including AI-enhanced Siri and app auto-completion and auto-summarization.

In his weekly Power On email, Bloomberg Apple analyst Mark Gurman stated that iOS 18 is “viewed within the company as one of the biggest iOS updates—if not the biggest—in the company’s history.”

Apple CEO Tim Cook recently informed shareholders that by 2024, the company will “break new ground” in artificial intelligence.

The momentum already exists and is further fueled by Apple’s acquisition of DarwinAI. Tim Cook’s well-reported remarks demonstrate that Apple hasn’t been afraid to brag about its AI prowess. Without a doubt, iOS will revolutionise the way you use your iPhone; all you need to do is exercise caution when utilising it.

Additionally, since Apple values privacy above all else, you may anticipate that iOS 18 and its ancillary AI technologies will include strict user restrictions that you can utilise.
