Apple recently announced an upgrade to its auto-correction feature, which now uses sophisticated language models to consider the context of words in sentences. This is one of several small updates to the iPhone experience that Apple announced earlier this month, such as the photo app being able to distinguish between your dog and other dogs, and AirPods getting smarter about adjusting ambient noise. These features are powered by AI, which Apple has been quiet about, but is still pushing in small ways. Technology leaders have been less careful about the potential for good and evil of AI, with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Microsoft founder Bill Gates both speaking positively about it.
