Apple has unveiled Apple Intelligence, an intelligent AI system for devices like iPhone, iPad, and Mac at WWDC24. However, due to its integration with ChatGPT from OpenAI, this feature may have limitations in countries where ChatGPT is not available, such as China, a key market for Apple.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Apple has been in talks with AI chatbot providers in China, including Baidu and Alibaba, who are licensed by the Chinese government. It is expected that Apple will utilize the chatbot features of these providers with Apple Intelligence.
Apple has also applied for a license to use the LLM model on their devices in China. However, as of now, the Chinese government has not granted Apple the license, impacting Apple’s competitiveness as rivals like Huawei have already obtained licenses for AI features on smartphones or Samsung using Baidu’s chatbot in their Galaxy S24 model sold in China.
TLDR: Apple introduces Apple Intelligence, but its functionality may be limited in countries like China due to integration with ChatGPT and the need for specific licenses from the Chinese government.
