INTERNEWSTIMES.COM – Apple is making a bold move in the AI race, launching Apple Intelligence, a new AI system designed to breathe life into Siri. But to truly succeed, Apple needs its army of developers to join the cause.
The Cupertino giant is aiming to make Siri more than just a voice assistant. Apple Intelligence is designed to interact with apps, allowing Siri to perform actions like sending emails, managing calendars, and editing photos. To achieve this, Apple is asking developers to create “App Intents,” small chunks of code that enable their apps to work seamlessly with Siri.
Apple has a proven track record of rallying developers to support new platform initiatives. They’re offering incentives, including personalized support, a developer conference with a festive atmosphere, and the promise of App Store promotion. But the stakes are high. Apple is counting on Apple Intelligence to boost iPhone sales, which have been sluggish lately.
If developers embrace App Intents and Siri delivers as promised, Apple could gain a significant edge in the AI race. But if developers are slow to adopt App Intents or if Siri fails to impress users, Apple’s AI ambitions could falter.
Some developers are hesitant, worried that users will spend less time in their apps or confuse Apple Intelligence with their own AI features. Others are concerned about the limited availability of Apple Intelligence, which is currently only available on the latest iPhone models.
Apple is facing a critical test. Will its developer ecosystem embrace Apple Intelligence and help it become a game-changer in the AI world? Or will the company’s ambitious plans fall short, leaving its AI ambitions behind its competitors? The answer, ultimately, lies in the hands of its developers. (Red)
