Wondering when Apple will actually announce an AI?
June would be the first opportunity.
June 5th is the first day of their worldwide developerās conference.
Expect something then. Until thenā¦just rumors.

šāāļøApple looks to dominate fitness with AI
Waiting for Apple to announce their AI like
Look, we promise, Apple has AI ambitions. They have like two annual events where they announce products. So...you'll have to be patient.
The latest Apple AI rumors suggest they're working on something major.
Theyāre going to blow up the fitness industry.
How?
An AI-powered fitness coach.
The coach, nicknamed Quartz, will help you eat, sleep, and exercise better. Itāll use AI to analyze your fitness trends and help you stay on track with workout routines and diets.
You might be thinkingā¦what a revolutionary idea. Whatās the catch? Surely this will cost me an arm and a leg.
To answer that, yes. Itāll be available for a fee. Because itās Apple.
Not only that, but youāll have to use an Apple Watch.
This is, of course, unofficial. Apple could axe the whole thing. Butā¦
The fitness app category is ripe for disruption.
š®š¹Italy unbans ChatGPT
Italy banned ChatGPT due to privacy concerns. We knew that.
Their privacy watchdog made a laundry list of requirements for ChatGPT and OpenAI.
Add age restrictions
Clarify how they use customer data
Provide data management options for users
Allow users to opt out of OpenAI training on their data
Do this, youāre open for business.
Well, it looks like OpenAI listened. ChatGPT is back in Italy. This week, they launched the ability for users toā¦remove their chat history, and opt out of training.
OpenAI didn't admit the list was why. They just said they had āaddressed or clarified the issuesā raised by the watchdog.
So, happy ending.
Lesson learned? Move fast and break things doesnāt mix with GDPR compliance.
š Meta has a plan to onboard the next billion users to AI
That plan? Not VR.
Speaking of moving fast and breaking things.
The original mover and breaker, Mark Zuckerburg, quadrupled down on Metaās pivot from the metaverse to AI.
Hereās a massive block of text explaining what Metaās strategy is.
āWeāre exploring chat experiences in WhatsApp and Messenger, visual creation tools for posts in Facebook and Instagram and ads, and over time video and multi-modal experiences as well,ā Zuckerberg said on the earnings call. āI expect that these tools will be valuable for everyone from regular people to creators to businesses. For example, I expect that a lot of interest in AI agents for business messaging and customer support will come once we nail that experience. Over time, this will extend to our work on the metaverse, too, where people will much more easily be able to create avatars, objects, worlds, and code to tie all of them together.ā
TL;DR? We want to be the first place people use AI.
That last part is hilarious. āDonāt worry, Metaverse! We havenāt forgotten about you!ā
If weāre being realistic, there is huge AI potential for Meta. Google teased AI creator tools for ads. Meta has every right to do the same for their business suite. Instagram is a gold mine too.
So, while weāre clowning on Metaā¦weāre excited to see where they go.
And right now, theyāre laughing to the bank. The stock is up almost 160% since its November low.
