Apple AI: Cupertino giant is preparing a host of AI tools to take on Microsoft’s Copilot, OpenAI

A Apple is almost ready to launch a new software tool designed to enhance artificial intelligence capabilities on its platform, as per a report by Blomberg.

With this, Apple intensifies its rivalry with Microsoft and OpenAI

The upcoming AI tool is part of the next major version of Xcode, Apple’s premier programming software, and has undergone extensive development over the past year. Recent reports suggest that Apple has expanded internal testing of the features and accelerated development efforts, aiming for a release to third-party developers as early as this year.

Sources familiar with the matter reveal that the new system will function akin to Microsoft’s GitHub Copilot, utilizing artificial intelligence to predict and complete segments of code. By simplifying the programming process, the tool holds the potential to save significant time and resources for software developers.

In addition to aiding in code generation, Apple is exploring AI applications for testing purposes, aiming to streamline the often laborious process of application testing. Engineers within the company are currently testing these AI features internally, aligning with Apple’s practice of “dogfooding” to ensure product efficacy before external release.
