@thomasfuchs I have doubts about AI, at least as we conceive of it, playing a big part of their product launches in the next year or so for a couple of reasons:
1) they're starting from behind, they don't have big models that they've been evolving or big teams publishing papers
2) they're very sensitive to their brand and generative AI is risky. Look how long it took Google, after inventing diffusion & transformer models to ship products, and then how they pulled things back. Apple's that x 10.
