Apple and competitor Meta conduct discussions about AI: report

In an effort to catch up to competitors in the artificial intelligence space, Apple is in talks with key rival Meta about incorporating the generative AI of Facebook’s parent firm into its products, the Wall Street Journal said on Sunday.

The story follows Apple’s agreement to collaborate with OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, to develop additional AI features for its highly anticipated Apple Intelligence suite of products.

After Google and Microsoft released their devices one after the other in quick succession, Apple has been under pressure for months to convince many who have doubted its AI approach.

Although it has created a lesser version of its own artificial intelligence, it has stated that it will employ third-party tools like OpenAI to enhance its internal solution.

The Journal, citing people familiar with the situation, reported that Meta and Apple have spoken about incorporating Meta’s generative AI model into Apple Intelligence.

Early in June, Craig Federighi, senior vice president of software engineering at Apple, stated that the company also aimed to incorporate features from Google’s Gemini generative AI technology into its products.

Analysts claim that Apple’s biggest problem has been figuring out how to incorporate ChatGPT-style AI, which ravenously consumes data, into its products without jeopardising the highly emphasised customer privacy and security.

With Apple Intelligence, users will be able to create custom emojis by describing something in plain English or write concise email summaries directly from their mailbox.

According to Apple, the voice assistant Siri will also receive an AI upgrade and will now show up as a pulsating light on the edge of your home screen.

Since its release more than a decade ago, GPT-4o, the newest assistant from OpenAI, has surpassed Siri as a useful function.

Canalys estimates that by 2028, generative AI elements would be present in 54% of smartphones shipped, up from 16% of smartphones shipped this year.

Instagram releases a kid-focused feature.

With the help of this new Instagram function, parents will have more control over what their kids do online.

New users between the ages of 13 and 15 will have their Teen Accounts enabled immediately, while current users in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia will be gradually transferred to the new accounts over the course of the following 60 days.

Important characteristics of teen accounts

Teen accounts are by default set to private, which limits the display of their posts to authorized followers and keeps non-followers from getting in touch with them.

Restrictions on Teen Messaging: To minimize unwanted encounters, teens are only able to message people they follow or already have a connection with.

Control of Sensitive Content: Tight settings will prevent exposure to potentially dangerous content, like advertisements for cosmetic procedures or violent content.

Parental Control: Guardians can keep an eye on their offspring’s internet behavior, such as direct messaging and content intake.

Positive Content: By allowing teenagers to research interests, like sports, music, or the arts, they can enhance their online experience.

Extra protection

Reminding teenagers to take breaks after 60 minutes of app use is part of the daily limit.

Sleep mode: To encourage sound sleep habits, automatically mute notifications between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m.

Using artificial intelligence to power age verification, underage individuals can be identified and moved to teen accounts.

In yesterday’s 92-run defeat against Markhors, Asif Ali, who is playing for the Dolphins under Saud Shakeel, scored a fast half-century.

Asif stated in an interview with a local news station that he wanted to do well enough throughout the competition to possibly earn a spot back on the national squad.

He also disclosed that, prior to making his international debut, he batted at number four in domestic cricket but was forced to settle for number six. The energetic batter had a new task because of the
in batting order.

Asif stated, “Going from No. 4 to No. 6 is not easy.” “It’s critical to train properly for your position in international cricket. It can be challenging to drop to a lower position at the international level if you’re used to playing higher up the order at home.

He talked candidly about the Dolphins’ defeat against the Markhorses as well, stating that given the pitch conditions, he would not have chosen to field first.

“Batting was challenging because the pitch favored bowlers in the latter parts of the game,” he remarked. Because of the early dampness, the Dolphins’ management decided to field first.

He then on, “If they had asked me, I would have told them to bat first and not fall for that.”

Report: Solar is expected to set new records this year.

In 2023, there was an expected 87% increase in growth. This year’s increase is 29% over the previous one, according to the research.

The cheapest source of electricity globally is solar power, and as such, it is expanding quicker than many anticipated, according to Euan Graham, an Ember electricity data analyst.

Ember estimates demonstrate the rapid growth of solar energy: in 2024 alone, new solar capacity will surpass the 540 GW of additional coal power added globally since 2010.

Expected to add 334 GW, or 56 percent of the global total in 2024, China continues to lead the globe in this industry.

According to the survey, it is followed by the US, India, Germany, and Brazil. These five nations will account for 75% of the new solar capacity in 2024.

According to the research, maintaining the sector’s growth required grid capacity and battery storage.

“Providing enough grid capacity and developing battery storage is critical for handling electricity distribution and supporting solar outside of peak sunlight hours as solar becomes more inexpensive and accessible,” the statement stated.

“Solar power might continue to surpass forecasts for the remainder of the decade if these issues are resolved and development is sustained.”
