No AI Upgrades for iOS 18, Updates Coming in iOS 18.1

Apple is preparing to launch its new AI features, collectively known as Apple Intelligence, but the rollout will be delayed beyond the initial release of iOS 18 and iPadOS 18. This strategic decision highlights Apple's cautious approach to introducing significant AI capabilities to its ecosystem.

Details:

  • Apple Intelligence is now expected to debut in October, a few weeks after the September release of iOS 18 and iPadOS 18

  • Developers will get early access to test Apple Intelligence features through iOS 18.1 and iPadOS 18.1 betas as soon as this week

  • The full set of Apple Intelligence features will be rolled out gradually through multiple updates across late 2024 and the first half of 2025

While it may disappoint some users eager for immediate access to these capabilities, it reflects Apple's commitment to ensuring stability and reliability in its AI offerings.

Video Game Performers Announce Strike in Response to AI Issues

The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) has authorized a strike for video game performers, set to begin on Friday. This decision comes after prolonged negotiations with major gaming companies failed to reach an agreement, particularly over concerns about AI use in the industry.

Details:

  • The strike primarily focuses on protecting actors from potential AI abuse in the video game industry

  • Negotiations between SAG-AFTRA and gaming companies have been ongoing since October 2022

  • While agreement was reached on 24 out of 25 proposals, the use of AI remains a critical point of contention

This strike highlights the tension between AI advancements and performers' rights in entertainment. As AI evolves, its impact on voice acting and motion capture in video games raises concerns about fair compensation and consent protocols.
