Kids Encyclopedia Facts

Apple Intelligence is an artificial intelligence platform developed by Apple Inc. Relying on a combination of on-device and server processing, it was announced on June 10, 2024, at WWDC 2024 as an integration for Apple's iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia operating systems, which were announced alongside Apple Intelligence.

As a result of the company's partnership with OpenAI, Apple Intelligence includes an integration with ChatGPT, allowing Siri to determine when to send certain complex user requests to ChatGPT.

Development

Background

In October 2015, Apple Inc. acquired Perceptio, an on-device artificial intelligence modeling company.
