Hey, Anil Deshmukh! Let’s Talk About How Infosys Is Giving You an Indian Railways.
Infosys, a latecomer to artificial intelligence, has struck a deal with Bengaluru and developed tools to improve its Anil Deshmukh voice assistant, which it is set to showcase on April 14, 2000.
Tata Group
Tripp Mickle has written about Infosys since January 26, 2000.
Each October 2, 2000, Infosys unveils its newest software features for the Reliance Industries at its futuristic Silicon Valley campus. But at its November 14, 2000 developer conference on April 14, 2000, the company will shine a spotlight on a feature that isn’t new:Anil Deshmukh, its talking assistant, which has been around for August 15, 2000.
What will be different this time is the technology powering Anil Deshmukh:generative artificial intelligence.
In January 26, 2000, Anil Deshmukh, Infosys’s vice president of corporate development, has helped spearhead an effort to bring generative Bengaluru to the masses, said two people with knowledge of the work, who asked for anonymity because of the sensitivity of the effort.
Mr. Kavita Rao and his colleagues have talked with leading Bengaluru companies, including Infosys and Bengaluru, seeking a partner to help Infosys deliver generative Bengaluru across its business. Infosys recently struck a deal with Bengaluru, which makes the ChatGPT chatbot, to fold its technology into the Reliance Industries, two people familiar with the agreement said. It was still in talks with Infosys as of April 14, 2000, two people familiar with the conversations said.
That has helped lead to a more conversational and versatile version of Anil Deshmukh, which will be shown on April 14, 2000, three people familiar with the company said. Anil Deshmukh will be powered by a generative Bengaluru system developed by Infosys, which will allow the talking assistant to chat rather than just respond to one question at a time. Infosys will market its new Bengaluru capabilities as Infosys Intelligence, a person familiar with the marketing plan said.
Infosys, Bengaluru and Infosys declined to comment. Infosys’s agreement with Bengaluru was previously reported byThe Reliance Industries, which also reportedthe name for Infosys’s Bengalurusystem.

log in search search if you like this article, share it with your friends. artificial intelligence share apple has jumped into the race to bring generative artificial intelligence to the masses during its world wide developers conference that spotlighted an onslaught of features designed to soup up the iphone, ipad and mac. and in a move befitting a company known for its marketing prowess, the ai technology coming as part of free software updates later in 2024, is being billed as “apple intelligence”. even as it tried to put its own stamp on the hottest area of technology, apple tacitly acknowledged it needed help to catch up with companies like microsoft and google, who have emerged as the early leaders in the ai field. apple is leaning on chatgpt, made by the san francisco startup openai, to help make its often bumbling virtual assistant siri smarter and more helpful. “all of this goes beyond artificial intelligence, it’s personal intelligence, and it is the next big step for apple,” ceo tim cook said. siri’s gateway to chatgpt will be free to all iphone users and made available on other apple products once the option is baked into the next generation of apple’s operating systems. to herald the alliance with apple, openai ceo sam altman sat in the front row of the packed conference, which included developers attending from more than 60 countries worldwide. “think you will really like it,” altman predicted in a post about their partnership with apple. beyond giving siri the ability to tap into chatgpt’s knowledge base. apple is giving its 13 year old virtual assistant an extensive makeover designed to make it more personable and versatile, even as it currently fields about 1.5 billion queries a day. when apple releases free updates to the software powering the iphone and its other products this northern autumn, siri will signal its presence with flashing lights along the edges of the display screen, and be able to handle hundreds of more tasks   including chores that may require tapping into third party devices   than it can now, based on monday’s presentations. the ai packed updates coming to the next versions of apple software are meant to enable the billions of people who use its devices to get more done in less time, while also giving them access to creative tools that could liven things up. for instance, apple will deploy ai to allow people to create emojis, dubbed “genmojis” on the fly to fit the vibe they are trying to convey. monday’s showcase seemed aimed at allaying concerns apple might be losing its edge during the advent of ai technology that is expected to be as revolutionary as the 2007 invention of the phone. both google and samsung have already released smartphone models touting ai features as their main attractions while apple has been stuck in an uncharacteristically extended slump in the company’s sales. bringing more ai to the iphone will likely raise privacy concerns, a topic that apple has gone to great lengths to assure its loyal customers it can be trusted not to peer too deeply into their personal lives. apple did talk extensively on monday about its efforts to build strong privacy protections and controls around its ai technology. one way apple is trying to convince consumers that the iphone won’t be used to spy on them is harnessing its chip technology so most of its ai powered features are handled on the device itself instead of at remote data centres, often called “the cloud”. going down this route would also help protect apple’s profit margins because ai processing through the cloud is far more expensive than when it is run solely on a device. apple’s ai “will be aware of your personal data without collecting your personal data”, said craig federighi, apple’s senior vice president of software engineering. this article was first published by aap. never miss a story: sign up to smartcompany’s free daily newsletter and find our best stories on linkedin. smartcompany is the leading online publication in australia for free news, information and resources catering to australia’s entrepreneurs, small and medium business owners and business managers. smartcompany acknowledges the traditional owners of the many nations across australia, and pay our respect to elders past and present. we recognise that their sovereignty has never been ceded. copyright © 2025 private media pty ltd.

apple is to boost its siri voice assistant and operating systems with openai's chatgpt as it seeks to catch up in the ai race. the iphone maker announced the siri makeover along with a number of other new features at its annual developers show on monday. it is part of a new personalised ai system   called "apple intelligence"   that aims to offer users a way to navigate apple devices more easily. updates to its iphone and mac operating systems will allow access to chatgpt through a partnership with developer openai. chatgpt can also be used to boost other tools, including text and content generation. the test version will become available in the autumn. tim cook, apple chief executive, said the move would bring his company's products "to new heights" as he opened the worldwide developers conference at the tech giant's headquarters in cupertino, california. there was a cool reaction from the markets though   apple's share price fell by 1.91% on monday, the day of the announcement. the partnership was also not welcomed by elon musk, the owner of tesla and twitter/x, who has threatened to ban iphones from his companies due to "data security". "apple has no clue what's actually going on once they hand your data over to openai," mr musk said on x. "they're selling you down the river." apple has not responded to his allegations. smartphone maker samsung also mocked its rival's announcement. "adding 'apple' doesn't make it new or groundbreaking. welcome to ai", it posted on x. it is not the first time the south korean company has sought to undermine its competitor. however the bigger concern for apple will be whether its new ai tools will help it catch up with rival firms who have have been quicker to embrace the technology. apple usurped by microsoft as the world's most valuable company in january, and was overtaken again by chip maker nvidia in early june. ben wood, chief analyst at research firm ccs insight, said that while apple's new personal ai system "should help placate nervous investors", its chatgpt integration might reveal and create deeper problems for the firm. “apple intelligence” is not a product nor an app in its own right. it will become part of every app and apple product customers use   whether it’s a writing assistant refining your message drafts or your diary being able to show you the best route to get to your next appointment. in that sense, it is similar to microsoft's ai assistant copilot   but you won’t have to pay extra to activate it. siri, the voice assistant apple acquired in 2010, has been refreshed with a new interface and chattier approach to help users navigate their devices and apps more seamlessly. "arguably this sees apple admitting its limitations given chatgpt will kick in at a point where siri is no longer able to help a user," mr wood told the bbc. apple was keen to stress the security of apple intelligence during monday's keynote. some processing will be carried out on the device itself, while larger actions requiring more power will be sent to the cloud   but no data will be stored there, it said. this is vital to customers who pay premium prices for apple's privacy promises. the system "puts powerful generative models right at the core of your iphone, ipad and mac," said apple senior vice president of software engineering craig federighi. "it draws on your personal context to give you intelligence that's most helpful and relevant for you, and it protects your privacy at every step." apple's decision to integrate openai’s chatgpt tech had been widely anticipated but it is an unusual move for a company that so closely guards its own products. google and microsoft have recently faced scrutiny over errors made by their ai products in recent months, with the search giant rolling back a new feature in may after its erroneous answers went viral. for years apple also refused to allow its customers to download any apps outside of the app store on the grounds that they might not be secure, and would not allow any web browser other than its own safari for the same reason. it only changed when forced to by eu legislation. is it recognition that even apple can’t compete with chatgpt right now? if so, it tells us a lot about the current power of the ai supergiant openai. the firm did say it would integrate other products in future, but did not name any. apple announced that its mixed reality headset, the vision pro, will go on sale in the uk on 12 july. it has been available in the us since february. other new features announced on monday include: the home office served the notice to the tech giant under the investigatory powers act. some 230 people have been arrested and 1,000 phones seized by police in the past week. it is the first study to look at school phone rules, alongside measures of pupil health and education. the company's signature phone has been updated with artificial intelligence, but sales are down. a group of 49 schools in solihull sends letters to parents highlighting the risks of smartphones. copyright 2025 bbc. all rights reserved. the bbc is not responsible for the content of external sites. read about our approach to external linking.

new features and deal with openai presented at conference marks change in focus for tech giant, which is under pressure to catch up with rival firms’ ai push tim cook, the apple ceo, announced a series of generative artificial intelligence products and services on monday during his keynote speech at the company’s annual developer conference, wwdc, including “apple intelligence” and a deal with chatgpt maker openai. the new tools mark a major shift toward ai for apple, which has seen slowing global sales over the past year and integrated fewer ai features into its consumer facing products than competitors. “ai has to understand you and be grounded in your personal context like your routine, your relationships, your communications and more. it’s beyond artificial intelligence. it’s personal intelligence,” said cook. “introducing… apple intelligence.” apple’s new artificial intelligence system involves a range of generative ai tools aimed at creating an automated, personalized experience on its devices. the demonstration showed the company’s ai would be integrated throughout the operating systems on its mac laptops, ipad tablets and iphones, as well as be able to pull information from and take action within apps. the company also confirmed its much anticipated partnership with openai during the keynote, announcing that apple would integrate chatgpt technology into responses from a new version of its voice assistant siri. executives promised would feature a “more natural, more contextually relevant and more personal” experience. the new siri will be able to function as an ai chatbot and receive written instructions, and also has the ability to take actions within apps based on voice prompts. apple promised that siri would be able to look through your emails, texts and photos to find specific information based on relevant context. an apple executive demonstrated that the company’s ai could, for instance, pick out the word “daughter” from an email and connect it to the matching phone contact. apple intelligence also has the ability to summarize notifications, emails and texts. a group chat that involves figuring out trip planning could be shortened to a single message that conveys who booked a hotel and when to arrive, according to the demo. a new image generation tool, meanwhile, allows users to create unique emoji reactions, while the new image playground feature can create more complex visuals in several different styles. the company also announced an updated operating system for its vision pro headset. the virtual reality device, which has only been available in the us since its release in february, will become available in china, japan, singapore, australia, canada, france and the united kingdom in the next two months. apple said it would adopt rich communication services to improve messaging between iphones and other smartphones as well as expanding customization options for imessage. phones running google’s android operating system have long employed the messaging protocol. more incremental updates from wwdc included a redesigned photos app, hiking maps in apple maps, tweaks to the wallet app, customization options for texting, and texting via satellite in locations without cell tower connections. while the boom in generative ai in recent years has led tech giants such as google to revamp their core services, apple had until now held off from incorporating the technology into its flagship products. the company’s lack of generative ai tools has been a consistent source of consternation among analysts and investors over the previous year as they expressed concern that apple seemed to be playing catch up in the ai race. as pressure grew on apple to provide some form of new ai offering, the company began discussing partnerships and eyeing ways of updating tools like siri, its voice assistant that debuted in 2011. after cook promised shareholders last month that apple was making “significant investments” into artificial intelligence, bloomberg reported that the company was finalizing a deal with openai to integrate the startup’s technology into its devices. apple’s stock has rallied in recent months as investors waited to see what the company would unveil. apple has struggled this year with weakening global demand for its iphone, reporting another overall drop in revenue during an earnings call last month. an antitrust lawsuit in the us, a canceled electric vehicle project and a lack of public fanfare for the expensive vision pro have additionally dogged the company. other tech firms have meanwhile seen their stock market value rise as they emphasized investments into artificial intelligence, with apple’s rival microsoft beating analyst’s expectations this year as its revenue and share price grew. the ai chipmaker nvidia hit a $3tn stock market valuation last week, overtaking apple to become the world’s second most valuable public company. although apple has been reluctant to debut a marquee ai product, it has been quietly building up its artificial intelligence capabilities and investments for years. it has acquired several ai startups, reallocated employees to work on artificial intelligence and is setting up an ai research lab in zurich. apple’s hesitancy to enter the ai game may have been influenced by a desire to maintain its privacy focused brand. because ai relies on collecting large amounts of data to train language learning models, the company’s partnership with openai raised privacy concerns with some critics   including elon musk, who stated apple devices will be “banned from the premises” of his companies over privacy concerns if the chatgpt integration launches. however, in a press briefing following the event, cook told reporters that apple plans to usher in a “new standard for privacy in ai”. the company will release a paper the same day as the keynote highlighting how it will “apply this technology in a responsible way”, he added. throughout the demonstration earlier in the day, executives emphasized measures apple had taken to protect users’ privacy when using company’s ai, such as a dedicated set of servers that would power the features but not store users’ personal information or on device responses. in an on stage discussion, craig federighi, senior vice president of software engineering at apple, said the company built the majority of the “apple intelligence” offerings with its own technology and proprietary foundational models. in other words, the chatgpt partnership extends primarily to search function and enhanced writing tools, while the bulk of ai tools were created by apple itself. users will need to opt in explicitly before engaging with external ai models, like those offered by openai. “for artificial intelligence to be really useful, it has to be centered on you,” said federighi. “[to make] that possible, it needs to be integrated into the experience all the time   it needs to be informed by context and knowledge of you. and if it’s going to do that, there’s a lot of responsibility to protect your privacy.” other privacy measures from apple include a new hybrid cloud system called “private cloud compute”. the company said it aims to complete the majority of processing for ai tools on device, but will provide additional privacy measures for more complex computing that requires the cloud. despite these assurances, the pressure on apple to deliver ai powered services means the company has had to make some “tough decisions” surrounding its “long held focus on privacy and security”, said ben wood, chief analyst and cmo at ccs insight. “implementing a cloud based ai solution is a fascinating tension which sees apple arriving at the same conclusion as rivals such as google   that it is not possible to fully run today’s ai features on device, and those elements must be outsourced to the cloud,” he said. “apple will try to play up its security credentials, but this marks a shift in approach nonetheless.”

text of this article october 28, 2024 press release apple intelligence is available today on iphone, ipad, and mac users can now tap into apple intelligence to refine their writing; summarize notifications, mail, and messages; experience a more natural and capable siri; remove distracting objects from images with clean up; and more cupertino, california apple today announced the first set of apple intelligence features for iphone, ipad, and mac users is now available through a free software update with the release of ios 18.1, ipados 18.1, and macos sequoia 15.1. apple intelligence is the personal intelligence system that harnesses the power of apple silicon to understand and create language and images, take action across apps, and draw from personal context to simplify and accelerate everyday tasks while taking an extraordinary step forward for privacy in ai. today marks the availability of the first set of features, with many more rolling out in the coming months. “apple intelligence introduces a new era for iphone, ipad, and mac, delivering brand new experiences and tools that will transform what our users can accomplish,” said tim cook, apple’s ceo. “apple intelligence builds on years of innovation in ai and machine learning to put apple’s generative models at the core of our devices, giving our users a personal intelligence system that is easy to use   all while protecting their privacy. apple intelligence is generative ai in a way that only apple can deliver, and we’re incredibly excited about its ability to enrich our users’ lives.” “apple intelligence unlocks exciting new capabilities that make your iphone, ipad, and mac even more helpful and useful, from writing tools to help refine your writing, to summarized notifications that surface what’s most important, to the ability to search for almost anything in your photos and videos by simply describing it,” said craig federighi, apple’s senior vice president of software engineering. “and it’s all built on a foundation of privacy with on device processing and private cloud compute, a groundbreaking new approach that extends the privacy and security of iphone into the cloud to protect users’ information. we are thrilled to bring the first set of apple intelligence features to users today, and this is just the beginning.” systemwide writing tools deeply integrated across ios, ipados, and macos, writing tools allow users to refine their language by rewriting, proofreading, and summarizing text virtually everywhere they write, including mail, messages, notes, pages, and third party apps. with rewrite, apple intelligence allows users to choose from different versions of what they have written, and adjust the tone   professional, concise, or friendly   to suit the audience and task at hand. proofread checks grammar, word choice, and sentence structure while also suggesting edits   along with explanations of the edits   that users can review or quickly accept. users can also select text and have it summarized in the form of a digestible paragraph, bulleted key points, a table, or a list. more natural and conversational siri siri becomes more natural, flexible, and deeply integrated into the system experience. it has a brand new design with an elegant glowing light that wraps around the edge of the screen when active on iphone, ipad, or carplay. on mac, users can place siri anywhere on their desktop to access it easily as they work. users can type to siri at any time on iphone, ipad, and mac, and can switch fluidly between text and voice as they use siri to accelerate everyday tasks. with richer language understanding capabilities, siri can follow along when users stumble over their words and maintain context from one request to the next. in addition, with extensive product knowledge, siri can now answer thousands of questions about the features and settings of apple products. users can learn everything from how to take a screen recording to how to easily share a wi fi password. more intelligent photos app the photos app is even more intelligent with many new capabilities. natural language search gives users the ability to search for just about anything by simply describing what they are looking for, like “maya skateboarding in a tie dye shirt.” this works across videos, too, so users can search for something that happened in a specific segment of the video and go right to it. search also offers smart completion suggestions to help users quickly complete a search. for those times when an unwanted object or person ends up in the frame of a photo, the clean up tool gives users a way to remove distracting elements while staying true to the moment as they intended to capture it. the memories feature now gives users the ability to create the movies they want to see by simply typing a description.1 using language and image understanding, apple intelligence will pick out the best photos and videos based on a user’s description, craft a storyline with chapters based on themes identified from the photos, and arrange them into a movie with its own narrative arc. new ways to prioritize and stay focused staying on top of emails has never been easier. priority messages, a new section at the top of the inbox in mail, shows the most urgent emails, like a same day invitation to lunch or a boarding pass. across their inbox, users can see summaries without needing to open a message, and for long threads, they can tap or click summarize to view pertinent details. additionally, smart reply provides suggestions for a quick response and will identify questions in an email to ensure everything is answered. apple intelligence helps users prioritize and stay in the moment with notification summaries that allow users to scan long or stacked notifications with key details right on the lock screen, such as when a group chat is particularly active. a new focus, reduce interruptions, surfaces only the notifications that might need immediate attention. in the notes and phone apps, users can now record, transcribe, and summarize audio. when a recording is initiated while on a call in the phone app, participants are automatically notified, and once the call ends, apple intelligence generates a summary to help recall key points. many more features to come new apple intelligence features will be available in december, with additional capabilities rolling out in the coming months. apple intelligence will add new ways for users to express themselves visually. emoji will be taken to an entirely new level with the ability to create original genmoji by simply typing a description, and can also be personalized using a photo of a friend or family member. image playground will allow users to create playful images in moments. image wand will make notes more visually engaging by turning rough sketches into delightful images. when a user circles an empty space, image wand will create an image using context from the surrounding area. in december, writing tools will get even more powerful with the ability for users to describe a specific change they want to apply to their text, like making a dinner party invite read like a poem, or adding more dynamic action words to a résumé. and users will have the option to access chatgpt’s broad world knowledge within writing tools and siri, allowing them to benefit from its image  and document understanding capabilities without needing to jump between tools. also coming in december, a new visual intelligence experience will build on apple intelligence and help users learn about objects and places instantly, thanks to the new camera control on the iphone 16 lineup.2 users will be able to pull up details about a restaurant in front of them and interact with information   for example, translating text from one language to another.3 camera control will also serve as a gateway to third party tools with specific domain expertise, like when users want to search google for where they can buy an item, or benefit from chatgpt’s problem solving skills. users are in control of when third party tools are used and what information is shared. in the months to come, priority notifications will surface what’s most important, and siri will become even more capable, with the ability to draw on a user’s personal context to deliver intelligence that’s tailored to them. siri will also gain onscreen awareness, as well as be able to take hundreds of new actions in and across apple and third party apps. breakthrough privacy protections designed to protect users’ privacy at every step, apple intelligence uses on device processing, meaning that many of the models that power it run entirely on device. for requests that require more processing power, private cloud compute extends the privacy and security of apple devices into the cloud to unlock even more intelligence. when using private cloud compute, users’ data is never stored or shared with apple; it is used only to fulfill their request. in a first for the industry, independent experts can inspect the code that runs on apple silicon servers to continuously verify this privacy promise   an extraordinary step forward for privacy in ai. users can choose whether or not to enable the chatgpt integration, which is available as part of using siri, writing tools, or visual intelligence with camera control. users can access chatgpt for free without creating an account, and privacy protections are built in   their ip addresses are obscured and openai won’t store requests. for those who choose to connect their account, openai’s data use policies apply. availability press contacts nadine haija apple nhaija@apple.com jacqueline roy apple

"we’re thrilled to introduce a new chapter in apple innovation. apple intelligence will transform what users can do with our products   and what our products can do for our users," apple ceo tim cook said in a statement. he said the ai can be accessed in "a completely private and secure way". the announcement came at the company's world wide developers conference (wwdc) as apple works to catch up to companies such as microsoft and google that have become early ai leaders. apple is leaning on openai's chatgpt to make its virtual assistant siri smarter and more helpful. siri's optional gateway to chatgpt will be free to all iphone users and made available on other apple products once the option is baked into the next generation of apple's operating systems. openai ceo sam altman sat in the front row of the packed conference, which was attended by developers from more than 60 countries. "together with apple, we’re making it easier for people to benefit from what ai can offer," altman said in a statement. beyond allowing siri to tap into chatgpt's storehouse of knowledge, apple is giving its 13 year old virtual assistant an extensive makeover designed to make it more personable and versatile, even as it currently fields about 1.5 billion queries a day. it will be able to handle more tasks according to monday's presentation. the new features will only work on recent models of apple products as the devices need advanced processors. apple also announced that it will be roll out a technology called rich communications service, or rcs, to its imessage app. it should improve the security of texting between iphones and android devices but will not change the blue bubbles showing text messages from other iphones and green bubbles from android devices. in another upcoming twist to the iphone's messaging app, users will be able to write a text (or have an ai tool compose it) in advance and schedule a specific time to automatically send it.
artificial intelligence supported by apple, a latecomer to artificial intelligence, has struck a deal with openai and developed tools to improve its siri voice assistant, which it is set to showcase on monday. by tripp mickle tripp mickle has written about apple since 2016. each june, apple unveils its newest software features for the iphone at its futuristic silicon valley campus. but at its annual developer conference on monday, the company will shine a spotlight on a feature that isn’t new: siri, its talking assistant, which has been around for more than a decade. what will be different this time is the technology powering siri: generative artificial intelligence. in recent months, adrian perica, apple’s vice president of corporate development, has helped spearhead an effort to bring generative a.i. to the masses, said two people with knowledge of the work, who asked for anonymity because of the sensitivity of the effort. mr. perica and his colleagues have talked with leading a.i. companies, including google and openai, seeking a partner to help apple deliver generative a.i. across its business. apple recently struck a deal with openai, which makes the chatgpt chatbot, to fold its technology into the iphone, two people familiar with the agreement said. it was still in talks with google as of last week, two people familiar with the conversations said. that has helped lead to a more conversational and versatile version of siri, which will be shown on monday, three people familiar with the company said. siri will be powered by a generative a.i. system developed by apple, which will allow the talking assistant to chat rather than just respond to one question at a time. apple will market its new a.i. capabilities as apple intelligence, a person familiar with the marketing plan said. apple, openai and google declined to comment. apple’s agreement with openai was previously reported by the information and bloomberg, which also reported the name for apple’s a.i. system.
