Apple held its first AI summit for employees earlier this month but did not make any AI product announcements, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
In a short recap of the event, Guman noted that Apple's AI chief told employees that "machine learning is moving faster than ever" and that Apple's talent in AI is "truly at the forefront."
Apple scheduled the annual internal AI summit for last week, which Gurman previously described as "like a WWDC for AI" but for employees only.
- The announcement came shortly after Microsoft unveiled its new Bing search engine and Edge browser powered by ChatGPT tech, and Google announced its experimental AI conversational technology called Bard.
- This led some to speculate that Apple executives could announce plans for similar AI tools or systems at the AI summit.
- However, it doesn't appear that Apple previewed any competitors to Bing or ChatGPT, according to Gurman.
- He did not hear of any consumer AI product that could be "a game changer" announced at the summit.
