Three things we learned about Apple's AI plans from its earnings
Apple CEO Tim Cook didn't give much away about the company's AI plans on Thursday's Q2 earnings call with investors, but he did confirm a few tidbits about how the tech giant plans to move forward with artificial intelligence. Notably, his comments suggested that despite spending more than $100 billion on R&D over the last five years, Apple isn't planning to spin up too many new data centers to run or train AI models. While we've known this for some time — after all, Apple has been calling its M3 MacBook Airs the "best consumer laptop for AI" — the company shouted out on its earnings call how AI is being used across its products.
