🗞️ The Latest in AI: Apple may be developing ChatGPT coding rival

As other tech giants have released AI tools that are exploding in popularity, Apple has remained surprisingly quiet in the realm of AI over the last year. Now, a recently granted patent may have revealed Apple’s plans for an AI chatbot developed secretly.

In the patent, Apple describes plans to integrate machine learning (ML) into its Xcode app. This could enable the app to automatically write code for developers; a major productivity boost for app builders that could lead to better apps for Apple users.

Apple says that ML could be used to automatically complete lines of code and check existing codes for bugs, saving developers tons of time. The chatbot will likely be embedded directly into the Xcode app.

This is something to keep an eye on for developers who use Xcode. Click here to learn more.

📸 Business Spotlight: AI to drive $113B in value for grocery stores by 2025

A joint report from Grocery Doppio, The Food Industry Association and Wynshop says AI will deliver $113 billion in operational efficiency and new revenue opportunities in the grocery industry by 2025. Grocers are expected to increase AI spending by 400% in the same time frame.

AI technology is not new to the grocery industry; over 69% of all grocery sales in 2023 were digitally influenced (through discovery, inspiration, order, pickup, coupons, etc.). Grocers aim to leverage AI to improve the quality and convenience of the shopping experience.

73% of grocery technology executives expect AI capabilities to be embedded in most or all of their technology software by 2025. The joint report lists the supply chain, merchandising and marketing as the top three use cases for AI.
