Apple Invests $500 Billion in AI, Meta Expands AI Reach in Middle East

The tech world is abuzz with exciting developments in artificial intelligence (AI). Apple is set to hire 20,000 new workers in the US and invest $500 billion domestically over the next four years, with a focus on AI. This move comes as the company seeks relief from President Donald Trump's tariffs on goods imported from China. Apple's investment will include the production of AI servers in the US, a significant boost to the country's AI capabilities.

Meanwhile, Meta Platforms is expanding its AI reach with the launch of Meta AI in Arabic across the Middle East. This move will enhance user experience with tools like dubbing and image editing.

In other AI news, BigID has unveiled its next-gen AI-powered data security, compliance, and privacy platform, BigID Next. This platform is designed to help enterprises discover, manage, and protect their data at scale, with a modular, AI-assisted architecture.

Alibaba has also pledged to invest over $50 billion in AI and cloud infrastructure over the next three years, following a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping and other Big Tech bosses. This investment will reinforce the company's commitment to long-term technological innovation and its focus on AI-driven growth.

In a related development, DeepSeek's AI disruption is looming over Nvidia's earnings report, with the Chinese firm's breakthrough sparking fears of an AI chip shake-up. DeepSeek's low-cost AI models, comparable in performance to OpenAI's ChatGPT, are raising concerns about the long-term necessity of Nvidia's cutting-edge chips.

In a positive development for AI adoption, Cheche Group's Tianmu Insurance Anti-Fraud and Risk Control Model has been recognized among the Top 100 AI Products of 2024. This accolade highlights the company's commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology in the insurance industry.

The Global Council for Responsible Artificial Intelligence has also selected Dr. Eman El-Sheikh, University of West Florida Center for Cybersecurity associate vice president, as Global Ambassador for the United States. Dr. El-Sheikh will leverage her experience to advocate for secure AI development and responsible AI adoption that benefits society globally.

Finally, Chinese consumers are being warned to be wary of wasting their money on courses that provide guidance that is already freely available. Experts have warned consumers to be cautious of paid tutorials that simply repackage materials from other AI models or provide low-quality content under the DeepSeek name.

Gemini AI might soon join ChatGPT in Apple Intelligence

Gemini AI might soon join ChatGPT in Apple Intelligence, according to recent discoveries. Apple Intelligence rolled out to iPhone 15 Pro users last fall, with Apple continuously improving it ever since. However, the most exciting part about Apple Intelligence is the vision that Apple demoed at WWDC. Apple Intelligence is hardly the must-have genAI service that Apple fans want. The smarter Siri Apple showed off months ago is still not here. It'll be available in Apple's upcoming iOS 18.4 or iOS 18.5 update. Even then, you shouldn't get too excited about Siri "just working" as your AI assistant. Apple Intelligence is still in beta. It's a work in progress, as Apple needs more time to match offerings from AI rivals.
