Why is Apple so focused on vision AI? Because vision intelligence can understand what it sees, contextualize that information, make decisions based on the information, and change or alter the appearance of what is there.

Apple is focusing on vision AI because it allows for understanding, contextualizing, decision-making, and altering the appearance of what is seen. This technology is already being used in various ways, such as text recognition, location identification, image descriptions, and translation. Apple's recent research paper describes a Multimodal Model for Text and Image Data, which combines text and images to train large language models and achieve strong context-learning capabilities. The company's vision for Generative Visual AI, particularly in the creation of digital replicas of spaces, has significant implications for industries like architecture, design, and health. This highly visual AI deployment surpasses the futuristic visions depicted in movies like Minority Report, making Apple an industry leader in this field. [Extracted from the article]
