DAI#43 – The A.I. in Apples, The Might of Search Engines, and Meta’s Delightful Ball in EU’s Court
“DAI#43 – AI Apples, search power, and Meta’s EU ‘pretty please’”
“AI may prevent the apples from falling too far from the tree. Pun intended! Because according to a recent finding by DailyAI, tech giant Apple is rumored to be developing its own artificial intelligence chip to handle search functions.”
The rumor is getting stronger as Apple is said to be trying to chart its own course in the AI world. And why not? After all, they have deep pockets to fund cutting-edge technology, a penchant for perfection, and a fiercely loyal customer base. By developing their own AI chip, Apple seeks to shift from relying on others (like Google and Bing) to deliver search results and recommending content.
Some opine this is Apple’s big move to break away from rival Google’s hold on internet searches. Others believe it’s a natural progression for Apple as it seeks to offer a completely integrated experience; a harmonious blend of software, hardware, and services. But the question remains: will Apple’s attempt to mark its territory in the AI world be fruitful?
Enough about Apple, let’s talk about Meta. Meta, the company formerly known as Facebook, is kneeling pretty low before the EU competition regulators. Their latest offering? An early Christmas charm offensive pledging to open up its ad server to rivals and to restrict the use of data.
It seems Meta is desperately trying to throw a “metamorphosis” blanket over the EU watchdogs. But, can it really loosen the chokehold regulators have on its neck? Only time will tell.
In the tech world dominated by giants, every move can sway the game, and AI is certainly the playing field where the battle is being waged. As Apple tries to strengthen its roots and Meta makes plays to shake off regulatory shadows, one thing is certain, AI is not just the present, it is also the future.
Is this merely the calm before the storm? Will we find ourselves amidst a greater tech war? One can only wait and watch. After all, when it comes to tech, anything is possible.
