🍏 Tim Cook says Apple will ‘break new ground’ in GenAI this year

Apple CEO Tim Cook says the company will "break new ground" in artificial intelligence this year. This focus shift comes after Apple reportedly scaled back its ambitious electric car plans (we talked about it on Wednesday). Apple has taken a more measured approach to AI compared to rivals, but this hints at a major push into the field.

• Apple plans to supercharge Siri and its search tool with AI capabilities.

• AI-powered features for presentations, music playlists, and coding help are being explored.

• Apple's team is increasingly involved in AI research and sharing development tools.

Why It Matters: This signals Apple playing catch-up in the rapidly evolving AI landscape. We could soon see cutting-edge AI features woven into the Apple products we use every day, potentially with a preview as early as this summer.
