Apple’s AI strategy faces scrutiny as insider Mark Gurman criticizes Apple Intelligence, calling it “underwhelming” when stacked against Google’s Gemini, potentially affecting the AI landscape.
Apple Faces AI Challenges
When Apple Intelligence launches for the general public this autumn, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, an insider at Apple, believes the business has a long way to go. Meanwhile, an iPad robot powered by artificial intelligence is reportedly Apple's next big move into robotics.
At this year's Apple WWDC (Worldwide Developers Conference), Apple Intelligence was front and center. The corporation plans to update Siri with cutting-edge AI after years of embarrassingly poor performance.
Gurman Criticizes Apple's AI
Gurman, though, finds Apple's offering to be woefully inadequate in light of Google's recent work with Gemini on Pixel 9.
There have been no updates to Apple's AI features in the second beta of iOS 18.1 that have been released. In stark contrast, Gemini boasts a remarkable range of capabilities, one of which is the ability to alter the background of a shot.
Not that Apple Intelligence doesn't have any redeeming qualities. It was encouraging to see that Apple was taking some action. Siri has been steadily growing poorer at performing even the most basic tasks, making it feel abandoned for years.
The arrival of Apple Intelligence's Siri is something that many iPhone owners have been eagerly anticipating.
Similar to the Apple Vision Pro, I find it hard to believe that Apple would abandon a new category just because its initial product isn't perfect. A second Vision Pro is supposedly in the works, and the business will presumably keep refining its AI model as well.
According to Gurman, Apple is light years behind Google in artificial intelligence. However, according to PhoneArena, the iPhone has fallen behind in a lot of areas over the years.
Apple's Future AI Ambitions
If Apple is willing to put its faith in AI-powered robots, it's safe to assume that the tech giant has big ambitions for Apple Intelligence too.
We must not overlook the M-series CPUs, which utterly transformed Macs and humiliated Intel-powered computers.
