Apple will allow millions of app developers to access its artificial intelligence models for the first time, as the tech giant looks to capitalise on its vast hardware and software ecosystem to give it an edge over its competitors.
Speaking at its developer event in Cupertino on Monday, chief executive Tim Cook said the company was looking to “harness the power of Apple Intelligence”, referring to an AI overhaul of its software that was first announced at last year’s event.
Developers would be able to test the features starting on June 9, with a full rollout for consumers in the autumn, Cook said. The AI features are only available on recent models of the iPhone.
