Apple has been silently investing in AI projects, with rumors suggesting collaborations with Open AI and Google. The company's research papers reveal a focus on improving Siri and developing on-device, fully offline AI models for faster and more efficient performance. Apple is exploring ways to intuitively detect user commands without a wake word and improve virtual assistant comprehension. Beyond virtual assistants, Apple is researching the use of AI in health-related tasks and creative tools such as Keyframer and MGIE. Although these are currently research papers, Apple's CEO, Tim Cook, has hinted at major AI announcements at the WWDC conference. The potential for significant improvements to the iPhone and Siri is exciting.
