Apple will finally tell its own AI story at WWDC 2024, but it may not mean the sorts of showy features demoed by the likes of Google, Microsoft, or OpenAI. Rumors have held that Apple will be allowing chatbots to integrate more deeply into its operating systems, and it seems that OpenAI is getting the first crack at that with ChatGPT. But Apple is still working on an agreement with Google to do the same with Gemini, according to Gurman. Apple is set to unveil its AI strategy at WWDC 2024, possibly featuring basic features like voice memo transcription and auto-generated emojis.

There are rumors of a partnership with OpenAI for chatbots integration, while discussions with Google and Anthropic are also ongoing.
