Although last year’s WWDC was centered on presenting the Vision Pro mixed reality headset, which went on sale in February, this year’s event will likely focus on Apple’s AI initiatives. The business is looking to license and integrate Google’s Gemini AI engine, which incorporates chatbots and other AI technologies, with new iPhones and iOS 18 features.

As more major companies invest billions of dollars in developing and deploying artificial intelligence, Apple has largely been left out of the discourse despite several other companies making significant progress in the field. A deal with Google would propel Apple into the burgeoning AI arms race.

Apple researchers also recently announced the creation of MM1, a family of multimodal models — which refers to an AI system that can read and generate several sorts of data, such as text and images, simultaneously. According to the researchers’ findings, the new approaches have “superior abilities” and can reply to text and images using advanced reasoning and in-context learning.
