In May, Tim Cook mentioned the potential of AI, but at the same time said that there are "issues that need to be ironed out."
In today's interview, Tim Cook emphasized that Apple is looking at ways to incorporate artificial intelligence, including genetic artificial intelligence, into its products in a way that can "provide assistance to people's lives."
We will continue to invest, innovate and responsibly promote our products with these technologies, improving people's lives.

Bloomberg reported that Apple is testing a genetic chatbot with internal employees, often referred to as AppleGPT. The company is reportedly set to make a major announcement about artificial intelligence next year, but it's not exactly clear what that announcement might involve.
