Apple's Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are more advanced than many believe

Apple has been working of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for decades, but longtime Apple analyst Tim Bajarin believes that Apple is more cautious about publicly touting its own AI prowess in light of the recent controversies surrounding Microsoft's Bing AI and Google's Bard ChatGPT competitor. From a historical standpoint, Apple began showing off early AI models when they introduced their futuristic Knowledge Navigator in 1987 And by 1990, Apple started a significant speech recognition project under Kaifu Lee who today is one the top researchers and experts in AI. Of course, Apple's Siri employs modern-day AI and advanced machine learning to deliver answers to spoken questions or requests and is at the heart of Apple Maps. Apple not jumping into the ChatGPT fray now is reasonable, given the current arrows aimed at Microsoft and Google's AI ChatGPT solutions. Although Bing's ChatGPT and Google's Bard are excellent products with great potential, it was clear that researchers and savvy media would poke holes in its capabilities and make those failures the headlines.
