Is Apple letting another AI opportunity slip away? – Macworld

• brookst 4y ago
  Yes. After failing to launch Amazon, AWS, SpaceX, Bitcoin, or TikTok competitors, Apple is one again just doing their thing and missing a huge trend.

    They don't even have their own covid vaccine or power stations!?

      WHAT?!

  Is Apple wisely ignoring a fad that it's already too late to lead...

  The only thing they have is a bunch PhDs creating chip-level frameworks to support machine vision and learning built on a distributed processing system for use across their eco-system.

    Can you expand on this? Any links?
    • detourdog 4y ago
      I could what are you curious about? I tried to describe at the highest level possible what Apple is doing in the AI space without naming anything specific. Apple is currently designing silicon based on speed and efficiency bottlenecks. They analyze their performance and adjust their design to work with these bottlenecks. If one looks at their AI oriented frameworks and their job processing framework they are both being optimized for their custom silicon. Apple hires many PhDs to work on some of these issues.

  AI is too broad a term so as to be useful for such questions. What is artificial intelligence? Let's look at an app like Apple Maps. Knowing my search history and showing it to me is a form of intelligence. Knowing I have something in my clipboard and making it easy for me to paste is a kind of intelligence. Knowing my location and the time of day, and combining that with knowledge of where I work and live in order to offer me transit times, is a kind of intelligence. Apple products utilize a ton of artificial intelligence. AI is not limited to sophisticated chatbots which many seem to think of as the only form of AI.
