Apple is next up to strut its artificial intelligence ambitions

Apple is reportedly working on a processor that is devoted to AI-related tasks to improve how its devices handle tasks that require human intelligence.

Looking at what's been discussed to this point (and speculating on what Apple will announce at its Worldwide Developer Conference Monday), it's safe to say that all of these organizations are keenly focused on different types of artificial intelligence, or AI. What this means is that each wants to create unique experiences that leverage both new types of computing components and software algorithms to automatically generate useful information about the world around us. In other words, they want to use real-world data in clever ways to enable cool stuff.
