Apple turns Macs into 'AI PCs'

Apple has integrated artificial intelligence (AI) into the Mac across a variety of apps, tools, and systems, improving nearly the entire Mac experience in the process. The result is the potential to turn the Mac into an AI PC at the highest level.

Apple Intelligence is the AI ​​system that takes Apple devices to the next level

Dubbed Apple Intelligence, the new AI system works across multiple apps (including third-party ones) to take them to the next level. For example, Apple unveiled tools that can summarize or rewrite text in apps, like paraphrasing an email response, based on context. The company also introduced some general AI capabilities similar to those in rival products, but the key is that Apple’s system has more contextual knowledge. Say a user asks it to create a picture of a friend for their birthday, and it will generate a picture based on a photo of them tagged in it and redesign it in one of several styles. In this case, Apple Intelligence knows who the friend is without the user having to specify the picture first.

Apple integrates ChatGPT on all platforms

Apple also tries to differentiate its Mac AI capabilities from its competitors through its commitment to privacy. The company says its AI platform is on-device processing, meaning personal information doesn’t leave the device unless the task requires more intensive processing power, where Apple Intelligence uses Apple’s own cloud servers and the company can’t see their data, and the only thing that leaves the device is whatever the current task requires. The company even allows outside experts to certify that its servers protect user privacy — something no other AI competitor offers.

Overall, the Mac’s advantage here is how deeply it’s integrated into the user’s apps and data, while competitors like ChatGPT, Google Gemini… can’t. Leveraging the power of the latest M4 chip, the Mac can claim to be one of the best consumer-facing AI PCs out there.

macOS apps are deeply integrated with Apple's own AI

Apple has made a big announcement for macOS 15, marking it as one of the most significant operating system updates in the history of the Mac and putting to rest the idea that Apple is falling behind in the world of AI. The company has responded to criticism that it is ignoring the potential of AI to change the face of computing.

AI has been a big topic over the past year or two as companies like OpenAI and Google have been coming out with powerful features and applications. However, Apple has remained quiet all this time, only giving out additional information about upcoming AI but never announcing anything concrete.

Apple rival Microsoft has embedded AI deep into its Windows operating system through Copilot, and even tried to push the concept of AI PCs by launching a series of computers under the Copilot+ PC moniker. Now, Apple seems ready to challenge its rivals by giving the Mac a serious AI upgrade, bringing it into the AI ​​era after a long wait. This is a new chapter for Apple, and it will be interesting to see if the company can compete with its more established rivals and claim the AI ​​crown for itself.
