Apple has unveiled new artificial intelligence software that will make the iPhone’s Siri digital assistant smarter and more capable of understanding and analyzing images. The AI software, called Visionos, will be able to identify objects, people, text, and other details in images. It can also edit images by removing objects or adding elements. Visionos uses machine learning to continuously improve its capabilities. Apple says Visionos will enable new AI-powered features in apps like Photos, which will be able to automatically organize images by subject matter. The software will also allow Siri to better understand follow-up questions in conversations. Apple emphasized that Visionos processes data on the device itself to protect user privacy. The new AI capabilities are part of Apple’s efforts to catch up with rivals like Google and Microsoft in artificial intelligence.
