Kaopiz Tech Briefs: Apple x ChatGPT; iOS 18; Amazon; LinkedIn AI
1. Apple is giving Siri an AI upgrade in iOS 18:
Apple has announced several AI-powered enhancements for its Siri virtual assistant, including a revamped design, improved speech recognition, and integration with OpenAI's ChatGPT model.
These updates will enable Siri to perform actions such as retrieving information from user emails, like checking a mother's flight arrival time, or locating and extracting information from an image of a driver's license to fill out a form.
Additionally, Siri will better understand users even if they stumble over their words and maintain conversational context between requests—for instance, creating an event at a specific location after providing weather information for that place.
The integration with ChatGPT will allow Siri to utilize the model’s expertise when needed, such as offering recipe advice. Siri will ask users for permission to use ChatGPT to complete a request, and if granted, it will display the information directly on the device screen.
The ChatGPT integration is expected to be available later this year, while the new Siri features powered by Apple Intelligence will be available in beta for iOS 18 this fall in the US.
2. Elon Musk threatens to ban Apple devices from his companies over Apple’s ChatGPT integrations:
Elon Musk has threatened to ban iPhones from all his companies in response to Apple's newly announced OpenAI integrations revealed at WWDC 2024.
Musk expressed concerns about the relationship between Apple and OpenAI, particularly regarding user privacy. Although Apple and OpenAI assured that users would be asked for permission before any data is sent to ChatGPT, Musk suggested that OpenAI's integration into Apple's operating system could lead to indiscriminate access to personal data.
In iOS 18, Siri will be able to ask ChatGPT questions with user permission and present the answers directly, bypassing the need to open the ChatGPT app. Musk prefers that OpenAI's capabilities remain within a dedicated app rather than being integrated with Siri.
Musk responded to a post by a YouTuber, criticizing Apple for claiming to protect user privacy while integrating a third-party AI. He argued that Apple, lacking its own AI, cannot ensure OpenAI will protect user security and privacy.
He asserted that Apple does not fully understand what happens to user data once handed over to OpenAI, effectively compromising user privacy. Despite these concerns, the data transfer remains user-initiated.

3. Amazon will use computer vision to spot defects before dispatch:
Amazon is set to leverage computer vision and AI to ensure customers receive products in pristine condition while advancing its sustainability efforts.
This initiative, called "Project P.I." (short for "private investigator"), operates within Amazon fulfillment centers across North America, scanning millions of products daily for defects.
Project P.I. uses generative AI and computer vision technologies to detect issues such as damaged products or incorrect colors and sizes before they reach customers. Each item passes through an imaging tunnel where Project P.I. evaluates its condition. If a defect is detected, the item is isolated for further investigation to determine if similar products are affected.
Project P.I. also plays a crucial role in Amazon’s sustainability initiatives. By preventing damaged or defective items from reaching customers, the system helps reduce unwanted returns, wasted packaging, and unnecessary carbon emissions from additional transportation.
This application of computer vision in manufacturing and logistics management exemplifies how advanced technology can enhance product quality and sustainability simultaneously.
4. LinkedIn expands its AI job-hunting features for Premium subscribers:
LinkedIn is rolling out new AI-powered features to assist users in job hunting, resume tailoring, and receiving advice from AI chatbots.
These features will be available to Premium subscribers worldwide, initially in English. One tool allows users to search for jobs using natural language prompts, like "find me a remote marketing job in Detroit that pays at least $110,000,".
Additionally, LinkedIn now offers a feature to review and enhance résumés with personalized suggestions tailored to specific job postings. Users can upload their résumés, receive feedback, and make interactive edits with AI assistance. Another AI-driven tool is available to help users create cover letters from scratch.
LinkedIn plans to enhance its search capabilities using generative AI, aiming to make every search smarter and more intuitive. The company stated that AI will revolutionize LinkedIn's search, allowing users to explore various topics directly through the platform.
