The 2024 Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC24) unveiled a slew of new AI-enabled features, including Apple Intelligence, Smart Siri, and OpenAI ChatGPT integrations.

Key Details:
  1. Apple Intelligence: A new suite of AI features built into your iPhone, iPad, and MacBook to help you complete tasks effortlessly.

    • Writing Tools: Helps you rewrite, proofread, and summarize text across the iOS ecosystem.

    • Image Playground: Delivers an easy-to-use experience to create fun and playful images in apps like Messages, Notes, Keynote, or Pages.

    • Genmoji: Allows you to create custom GenAI emojis tailored to conversations and generate suggested replies to streamline texting.

  2. Smart Siri: Siri can understand spoken language commands and has “on-screen awareness” to control actions in apps.

    • Reference Resolution as Language Modeling (ReALM): An AI model that enables Siri to monitor on-screen tasks, conversational context, and background processes.

    • Contextual Information: Siri can automate mundane tasks like compiling a grocery list, managing emails, or crafting text replies.

  3. OpenAI ChatGPT Integrations: Apple will merge ChatGPT into their devices to record phone calls, schedule text messages, or compile emails.

    • Siri’s ChatGPT: Siri can rely on ChatGPT when it can’t answer your request and requires “broader world knowledge” or specialized expertise.

🚨Elon Musk posted on X: “If Apple integrates OpenAI at the macOS level, then Apple devices will be banned at my companies. This merger is an unacceptable security violation.”

MICROSOFT

🔐Microsoft’s “Copilot+ Recall” Safety Changes

Microsoft announced a series of changes to the company’s “Recall” feature after an initial wave of security concerns.

Key Details:
  • At Microsoft Build 2024, the company revealed a new Windows 11 “Copilot+ Recall” feature, which tracks everything you see and do on your device.

  • “Copilot+ Recall” constantly takes screenshots of what’s on your device. Then, it leverages an on-device GenAI model and Neural Processing Units (NPUs) to process all that data, making it searchable.

  • Microsoft faced an initial wave of security concerns across social media, with users highlighting the privacy nightmare “Copilot+ Recall” poses.

  • In response, “Copilot+ Recall” will now be off by default, and users will need to manually enable it along with new encryption and authentication safety measures.

  • Copilot+ Recall” will roll out on the new “Copilot+ PCs,” set to launch on June 18, 2024.

Why It’s Important:
  • “Copilot+ Recall” assists you by considering your historical behaviors and data, sparking concerns over privacy risks and new attack vectors for bad actors.

  • “Copilot+ Recall” will store and process snapshots locally on your device, won’t leverage snapshots for AI training, and private browsing content won’t be saved on Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, or Chromium-based browsers.

AI RESEARCH

✂️Concise Prompting Cuts AI Costs by 20%

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University discovered that adding a “be concise” instruction to Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompts reduced AI model responses and operational costs.

Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting is a technique for boosting the accuracy of AI model responses by breaking down complex problems into management steps.

An Application Programming Interface (API) is a tool that allows multiple software applications to share data, features, and functionality back-and-forth rapidly.

Researchers added “be concise” to CoT prompts when using OpenAI’s GPT-4 across 1,000 multiple-choice questions covering 10 topics.

The “be concise” instruction made AI model responses 50% shorter with minimal impact on accuracy, reducing API costs by over 20%.
