Apple is at least two years behind its competitors in the development of artificial intelligence

Apple officially unveiled Apple Intelligence this June, which is the company’s first step to join the fast-paced competition of artificial intelligence companies. According to Bloomberg reporter Mark German, some Apple employees believe that the company is at least two years behind the development of artificial intelligence.

According to Mark Garman, a number of Apple employees believe that the company’s artificial intelligence technology is more than two years behind the leading companies in the industry. Apple’s internal studies show ChatGPT is about 25 percent more accurate than Siri and can answer about 30 percent more questions, according to Garman.

Apple’s artificial intelligence development compared to competitors

Apple Intelligence relies more on models that can run on the device; For this reason, only a few limited products of this company can implement it. In order to be able to take advantage of Apple’s artificial intelligence, your phone or laptop must have at least an A17 or M1 chip and at least 8 GB of RAM, but since a large part of this model runs on the device itself, Apple Intelligence is more limited than other models.

For this reason, Apple has partnered with OpenAI to integrate ChatGPT throughout its operating system. Apple announced that iOS, iPadOS and macOS support the new GPT-4o model. Also, this artificial intelligence model will be integrated into the new Siri. We already knew that the integration of new OpenAI models is to cover the shortcomings and less knowledge of Siri and Apple Intelligence, but apparently the gap between the two is much greater than previously speculated.

In other words, ChatGPT is about 25% more accurate than Siri and can answer many more questions; For this reason, Apple employees apparently say that the company is lagging behind its competitors in the development of artificial intelligence.

Mark Garman says that by 2026, Apple Intelligence will be running on all of the company’s devices that have a screen. Of course, now users of new iPhones have to wait for iOS 18.1 to experience it.
