Apple has officially announced that it will cooperate with Alibaba to offer artificial intelligence services in China. Alibaba President Joe Tsai said at the World Government Summit in Dubai that Apple had met with many local technology companies but ultimately decided to work with Alibaba. Thanks to this co-operation, Apple Intelligence will be available in China.
Apple Intelligence will be available in China
In order for Apple to offer artificial intelligence services in the Chinese market, it became mandatory for Apple to work with a local partner. Because AI-based services in China must only be provided by local companies licensed by the government, Apple Intelligence has not been available in the region until now.

In this process, Apple also held talks with major technology companies such as Baidu, ByteDance and Tencent, but ultimately preferred Alibaba. With this agreement, Apple will start offering artificial intelligence-based features to its users in China.
With Apple Intelligence, Siri will be able to provide more natural responses and contextualised responses by remembering previous conversations. This new version of Siri will allow users to communicate more interactively with their devices.
The new artificial intelligence system will work as a smarter assistant in written content. In text-based applications such as messages, emails and notes, it will help users more easily perform operations such as correcting typos, auto-completion, and receiving grammar suggestions. Apple Intelligence will enable users to work more efficiently by providing AI-supported suggestions in content production.
Apple Intelligence, which also offers important innovations in photo editing, will better detect objects and people in images, making it easier to search and edit. AI-powered photo editing tools will offer users a more advanced experience with features such as removing unwanted elements, colour correction and automatically improving exposure settings.
Personalised recommendations will be an important part of Apple Intelligence. The system will learn users’ habits and offer suggestions to optimise their daily routines. From music preferences to calendar reminders, Apple Intelligence will develop smart solutions for users’ needs.
Language translation capabilities will also improve significantly with Apple Intelligence. An advanced language model with real-time translation will be a great advantage for foreign language learners or international travellers. Apple’s existing Translate app and Siri’s language support will become much smarter with this new artificial intelligence system.
