Apple's New Chatbot Could Shake Up the Generative A.I. Landscape
Written on
Chapter 1: Apple's A.I. Developments
Recent reports indicate that Apple is in the process of developing its own chatbot. A Bloomberg article reveals that the company has established a framework for creating large language models—these A.I.-driven systems are foundational to newer technologies like ChatGPT and Google’s Bard. Nevertheless, Apple has yet to formulate a plan to incorporate "Apple GPT" into its existing lineup of products.
The surge in activity surrounding generative A.I. has been notable in recent months. For instance, Meta has introduced a new version of its large language model called “Llama 2.” Additionally, Microsoft is set to roll out its chatbot initiatives through “Copilot,” which will embed generative A.I. capabilities into its productivity software at a cost of $30 per user monthly. Numerous companies are now exploring how to effectively integrate ChatGPT and Google’s Bard into their workflows.
This rapid evolution of generative A.I. has raised concerns among tech professionals, and understandably so. Many software developers express anxiety over chatbots' advancing skills in coding and debugging; if machines can perform these tasks, what incentive do companies have to hire human workers? Yet, there are indications that A.I. may enhance the roles of tech professionals.
For instance, some experts suggest that A.I. could minimize the need for repetitive tasks such as debugging, allowing professionals to focus on more innovative aspects like developing new features. There’s also potential for new tech-oriented positions, such as “prompt engineer.” Furthermore, a new wave of “A.I. app stores” could enable tech professionals to market various A.I. software solutions.
According to Stack Overflow’s recent Developer Survey, a significant majority of developers—77 percent—express a favorable or very favorable view of A.I. tools. Moreover, 25 percent believe that A.I. will enhance their learning experiences in some capacity. This groundbreaking technology has the potential to positively impact your career, provided you remain informed about the latest advancements in the field.
