According to a report from Bloomberg, Apple is developing a code generation AI feature for its integrated development environment, Xcode , and is expanding internal testing of the feature. According to sources, Xcode's code generation AI features will be released to third-party developers in 2024.

In addition, Apple has announced the potential of generative AI, such as ``an AI function that automatically creates playlists in Apple Music,'' ``an AI function that automatically creates slideshows for Keynote,'' and ``an AI chatbot for Spotlight .'' They are currently considering its uses. Spotlight, a search function that can be used on Macs and iPhones, has the potential to use AI to enable specific app functions, allowing users to perform more complex operations using natural language requests, similar to ChatGPT. It will look like this.

While technology giants such as Microsoft and Meta are prominent in AI research and AI product announcements, Apple has developed a framework for training and deploying machine learning models called MLX, an image editing AI model called MGIE, All we have to do is announce Keyframer, an AI tool that animates still images just by entering a prompt.

The code generation AI function for Xcode that Apple is developing will be a tool to complement programmers' coding work using large-scale language models (LLM), similar to Microsoft's GitHub Copilot and Amazon's CodeWhisperer.

According to reports, Xcode's code generation AI capabilities can generate code based on natural language requests and convert code from one programming language to another. Xcode's AI capabilities can predict blocks of code and generate code, streamlining the app development process for developers.

In addition, Apple is expected to announce its AI-related plans at the annual developer event WWDC.
