A.I ≠ A.I

Artificial intelligence (AI), in its broadest sense, is intelligence exhibited by machines, particularly computer systems. It is a field of research in computer science that develops and studies methods and software that enable machines to perceive their environment and uses learning and intelligence to take actions that maximize their chances of achieving defined goals.[1] Such machines may be called AIs. 

Apple Intelligence (AI) Apple’s take on Artificial Intelligence. 

It’s smart that they used the same Acronym to refer to their own attempt at AI as AI.  No other company is best suited for using this acronym, with their own twist. It’s going to be confusing in a few years on what one meeans when they use the acronym in the Apple ecosystem, but the genius and a lofty goal, I believe   is that they want it be one and the same. 

Only time will tell on how their take pans out.  Despite being the first to announce a voice assistant Siri twelve years ago, they didn’t make much out of it. I don’t think Apple can afford to fail at this point, especially with AI on their devices. They have the clear lead with data, our personal data to manipulate and help improve our lives. Given their privacy model, what they aim for AI to do is possible and if they deliver it to delight, it’s definitely going to be the feature that will retain users in it’s ecosystem and the industry will need to catch up. For my own sake, I want them to win this AI race.
