Apple's AI Push: John Giannandrea and the Future of Apple Intelligence at WWDC 2024

Apple is set to make a significant push into artificial intelligence (AI) at its annual developers conference, WWDC 2024. The tech giant, known for entering product categories after they have been established but making a mark with its unique approach, is preparing to bring AI functionality to its major apps and features.

John Giannandrea, Apple's top executive in charge of AI strategy, has an impressive background in the field. He co-founded TellMe, a voice-activated online information service in the late 1990s and joined Google after it acquired Metaweb where he oversaw AI before joining Apple in 2018.

Apple's competitors, including Google and Microsoft, have already made significant strides in AI. Google has been at the forefront of generative AI for nearly two years with its ChatGPT-like Bard and Microsoft's Copilot features like Recall. Apple is expected to announce plans to deeply integrate AI into its major apps and features during WWDC 2024, branding it as 'Apple Intelligence'.

Some possible AI features include summaries of messages and webpages, real-time transcriptions, a custom emoji generator, and object/person removal in the Photos app. Apple's built-in apps like Calculator and password manager are also expected to receive AI enhancements.

Apple's WWDC 2024 keynote is scheduled for June 10th, starting at 1PM ET / 10AM PT. Stay tuned for more updates on the event.

    The author makes several statements about rumors and reports from reliable sources, which are not fallacies as they accurately represent the information being presented. However, there is an instance of an appeal to authority when the author mentions Bloomberg and Apple Insider as sources for information about Apple's plans for WWDC 2024.
