Apple Leverages On-Device AI for Vision Pro Persona and Upgraded Autocorrect
Apple introduces a variety of new AI-powered features across its devices at WWDC 2023, prioritizing user privacy through on-device processing. Standout innovations include a machine learning-driven digital avatar for the Vision Pro headset and a significantly improved autocorrect for iOS 17.
Apple unveils a wide range of new AI-driven software features for its entire device ecosystem at WWDC 2023. Staying true to its strict privacy commitments, the company relies entirely on on-device processing through its neural engine rather than sending user data to the cloud.
The standout AI innovation is the Persona feature for the upcoming Apple Vision Pro headset. This machine learning capability uses built-in cameras to scan a user's face and generate a lifelike digital twin that accurately maps facial expressions and gestures in real time during video calls.
Additionally, Apple revamps its notoriously flawed iPhone autocorrect in the new iOS 17 update. The upgraded typing feature utilizes advanced AI to provide vastly more accurate word predictions, finally putting an end to the infamous and frustrating "ducking" autocorrect fails that plague current users.
