Apple Finally Embraces AI: Release of New iPad Tablets Marks Major Milestone in Integration of Artificial Intelligence Technology
On Tuesday, Apple announced the release of new iPad tablets that have been redesigned with a powerful AI chip. This move indicates that the company is finally ready to integrate artificial intelligence into its devices. The latest version of the iPad Pro features a new chip called the M4, which is more powerful than the current chip used in Apple’s laptops and is capable of handling more AI tasks.
Apple has been criticized for being slow to embrace the AI revolution, with Microsoft surpassing it as the world’s largest company by market capitalization. However, Apple has finally caught up with Microsoft and fully embraced AI technology. The capabilities of the M4 chip are expected to extend to other Apple products, including iPhones and laptops. CEO Tim Cook highlighted the importance of generative AI across Apple’s product lines following the company’s latest earnings report.
Microsoft has fully embraced AI technology, incorporating AI-enhanced versions of its software and applications and providing tools like the Copilot chat functionality to its cloud computing clients. Analysts anticipate that the M4 chip will play a significant role at Apple’s upcoming Worldwide Developers Conference on June 10, where additional AI-related announcements may be made. According to Johny Srouji, Apple’s senior vice president of hardware technologies, the new chip makes the iPad Pro the most powerful device of its kind.
