In other AI news, OpenAI has hired new executives, Yahoo Mail has been updated with new AI capabilities, and Google is working on a generative AI model for personal health. A recent study from Carnegie Mellon suggests that not all generative AI models are created equal, particularly regarding polarizing subject matter. Meanwhile, Apple has also been vague about the capabilities of its new on-device and cloud-bound generative AI models that make up the Apple Intelligence suite.
Key takeaways:
- Apple unveiled Apple Intelligence, its ecosystem-wide push into generative AI, at the Worldwide Developers Conference. The new AI powers features like an upgraded Siri, AI-generated emoji, and photo-editing tools.
- Apple trains the AI models that power Apple Intelligence on a combination of licensed datasets and the public web, but has not been transparent about its model training practices.
- Google is working on a generative AI model for personal health, called Personal Health Large Language Model (PH-LLM), which is designed to give recommendations to improve sleep and fitness.
- Apple's new on-device and cloud-bound generative AI models that make up its Apple Intelligence suite are small in size to run offline on Apple devices and are less likely to spout toxicity than models of similar sizes.
