Apple is reportedly working on its own generative AI tool called “Apple GPT” and has incorporated AI into forthcoming iOS17 features. The company is also hiring researchers and engineers to work on compressing existing language models for mobile devices. Apple’s focus on running AI locally on phone hardware is driven by concerns over privacy and security. Passwords are becoming increasingly obsolete due to AI’s ability to crack them quickly. Google is negotiating with Universal Music to create a tool for fans to create their own legitimate deep fakes of popular artists. Disney has created an AI task force to explore the use of AI across its entertainment divisions. Disturbing research from IBM shows that GPT-4 can be manipulated into leaking confidential information and giving malicious advice. Other AI news includes Nvidia’s new super chip, Spotify’s AI feature “DJ” being rolled out to more countries, and predictions of a rise in AI investments. A survey shows that companies have concerns about trusting AI with their data, but few have implemented policies on generative AI so far.
