Artificial intelligence continues to be the latest buzzworthy buzzword floating around the tech industry. (Sorry, blockchain and non-fungible tokens, your 15 minutes are up.) And though Apple has plenty of ways it already leverages machine learning (fave.co/43dFPUj) to power up its technologies, it's hard to deny that there are some places where the company could still benefit from jumping on this latest bandwagon.
So it's interesting to hear a report in the New York Times (fave.co/42YhpxR) that Apple engineers are actively looking into language-generating Al, similar to the systems that underlie chatbots like ChatGPT, for a number of applications. And a follow-up report by 9to5Mac that confirmed the tech, code-named "Bobcat," is already being tested for tvOS 16.4 beta.
How could this technology be used in Apple's products? Well, as it happens, I can think of a few ways that it might be deployed, not all of which are simply about just creating a chatbot.
