Even Apple CEO Tim Cook isn’t sure the company can stop AI mistakes, sometimes completely disconnected from reality. Speaking to The Washington Post, Cook said he would “never claim” with 100 percent confidence that the new Apple Intelligence system would not produce false or misleading information.
The Apple CEO said: “I think we’ve done everything we know how to do, including thinking very deeply about whether the technology is ready in the areas where we use it. Therefore, I am sure that it will be of great quality. But I would honestly say it’s less than 100 percent. “I can never say it’s 100 percent.”
Apple announced the new Apple Intelligence system, which will bring artificial intelligence features to the iPhone, iPad, and Mac. These features will help users with tasks such as composing email responses, creating custom emojis, summarizing text, and more.
As with all other artificial intelligence systems, this brings with it the possibility of errors that deviate from reality. Recent examples of how AI can get things wrong include last month when Google’s AI Gemini suggested using glue to put cheese on pizza. Additionally, similar types of bugs were found in ChatGPT.
Apple also announced a partnership with OpenAI to integrate ChatGPT into Siri. The voice assistant will return to ChatGPT when it receives a question that is more appropriate for the chatbot, but will ask your permission before doing so. It’s also worth noting that during Apple’s demonstration at WWDC, a warning appeared at the bottom of the screen that said “Check important information for errors.”
Tim Cook also talked about the collaboration of Apple and OpenAI
Cook said Apple chose OpenAI because it is a “pioneer” in privacy and has the “best model” right now. Cook also stated that the company is open to other collaborations in the coming period. Apple Senior Vice President Craig Federighi had previously stated that Google Gemini could also be added to iOS.
