According to a Wall Street Journal report, Apple has restricted access to ChatGPT in its offices and only a few employees can use OpenAI's chatbot.

Apple doesn't appear to be in a hurry to go all out on artificial intelligence (AI), the new frontier that several tech giants are in a race to conquer. At WWDC 2023, the company shared glimpses of what it doing with AI.

The Apple Vision Pro might be ridiculously expensive but it also has a very cool AI-based feature called Persona. When wearing the headset during a Facetime call, an AI algorithm generates a lifelike recreation using the headset's cameras. This "Persona" is what other users see when they talk to you during a Facetime call.

It is a smart way to solve the problem of what the user will see during a video call, if you are wearing a headset. Other ways Apple is using AI is to improve autocorrect, generate transcriptions for Live Voicemail, and give Photos the ability to identify your pets.

It is still a far cry from what other companies are doing with the technology. Google, Microsoft, Meta, OpenAI and others have gone all in on AI.
