Apple Offers Students AI Training at Developer Academies

[MacRumors]

Apple today announced plans to introduce new AI curriculum at its Apple Developer Academy locations in Brazil, Indonesia, Italy, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, and the United States. Apple Developer Academy students and mentors will learn about tools and technologies that take advantage of artificial intelligence.

The AI curriculum is being added to the program as a foundational skill, and students will learn how to build, train, and deploy machine learning models on Apple devices. Some of the available courses include the fundamentals of AI technologies, Core ML, and training AI models from the ground up.

"At Apple, we see coding as a universal language and believe in empowering developers, creators, and entrepreneurs across the world with tools and technologies that will allow them to create phenomenal experiences," said Susan Prescott, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations. "With the introduction of curriculum dedicated to AI and other new technologies, we're excited to see what students will build to share with their communities and the world."

Apple Developer Academy students, mentors, and alumni will have access to the curriculum starting this fall.

This is expected given the current landscape in computing and focus of Apple services and devices.

But they are always so excited to see what you will do with x (x being a service, feature or technology of Apple)

Cut and paste corporate speil. Standard document template APL2077 version 45….replace spaces with the Apple service, feature or technology concerned.

I'm old enough to call A.I, ML or any other fancy buzzword.... SOFTWARE.

We're all going to have to learn how to supervise our devices to make sure they're not doing something stupid on our behalf aren't we? What a dystopian day we've woken to.

We go through this every few years. All of a sudden everything is (insert shiny new word) even though it's the exact same as it was the week before. I don't know why, but I find this time around particularly depressing and annoying.

I got through everything being cyberspace, the Web, online community, Web 2.0, an algorithm, and Web3 without losing it, but it's going to be a long year.

Some of the users here could be AI and we wouldn't even know it. What a time to be alive.

Exactly, I mean Tim Apple could be AI and we wouldn’t know it for years. I think if he still looks the same in 30 years it might raise a few suspicions. 🤔

I mean they did say he was a numbers guy… maybe they were being literal. Maybe he’s just all 0s and 1s… literally. And when they said he was a bean counter, what they meant was his parity check.

McDonalds removes AI drive-throughs after order errors

The voice recognition system seems not to have recognised what customers were really ordering.

(I'd order that, eat it all, then refuse to pay blaming AI.)

Still sounds more accurate than some humans I've dealt with - and yes I have had experience on both ends of a drive-thru.

At the next WWDC. "And just one more thing. This entire time, my entire career at Apple, I have been 100% generated by Apple AI. And now I'll be built into every iPhone 15 and 16, and every Mac and iPad with an M series chip".

Who needs students when you have AI 👽

I've worked with many people who were artificially intelligent.

It's somewhat like all the driverless cars I see in California, with someone at the wheel looking at their phone.

Maybe, Apple could train people to program "Watch the road, dummy!" on iOS.
