Apple introduces a new era with Apple Intelligence.

Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference focuses heavily on artificial intelligence. Apple has launched Apple Intelligence, a generative artificial intelligence product that will be available on iOS later this year. iOS 18 will bring many new features, including the ability to schedule text messages and customize the home screen, big updates to Siri, including ChatGPT integration, and AI-generated emoticons. In case you missed it, we've put together a handy summary of everything Apple announced. Tesla Executive Director Elon Musk has reached a sufficient vote of shareholders to confirm his 2018 stock options compensation plan. Voting means that he can receive payments up to $ 56 billion, the largest executive director of history. In funding news, Mistral AI has closed its much-rumored Series B funding round. The company has raised €600 million (about $640 million at today's exchange rates) through a combination of equity and debt. The new round of funding values the startup at $6 billion as it continues to compete with OpenAI, Anthropic and other artificial intelligence giants.

Apple Intelligence isn't trying to be cheesy: In iOS 18, Apple is taking a more cautious approach. Instead of overwhelming users with too many AI features to count, the company is careful to introduce AI where it can be useful. Although Apple AI is definitely not so gorgeous, Sarah Perez believes that this is the way the company defines the gambling table that the AI driver should be able to have.
