AI News 1: AI coming to Apple's iOS?!
Hello. This is Yu.
Regarding the current state of "AI that supports our daily lives," I found some interesting news.
In June 2025, AI has taken another step closer to our "everyday lives."
I will introduce two things: Apple's iOS update and the lost property AI service being promoted by Toei Transportation in Tokyo.
🍎 Apple to enhance AI in iOS 26 [WWDC 2025 Preview]
Apple is expected to announce new AI features planned for the upcoming "iOS 26" operating system at its developer event "WWDC 2025," which begins on June 9.
Key points:
• Enhanced Siri: More conversational and natural responses will be possible. Support for operations across multiple apps is also planned.
• Battery optimization AI: Battery management based on usage patterns will improve daily battery life.
• AI-assisted organization of photos and messages: Efficiency is expected to improve through features like automatic tagging and extraction of important messages.
Apple has maintained a "privacy-first" stance, and these new AI features are also centered on on-device processing, which should help maintain a sense of security.
🚉 Toei Transportation uses AI to instantly search for "lost property"! Introduction of find chat
On June 4, 2025, the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation announced a lost property search service utilizing an AI chatbot in collaboration with the startup company "find Inc."
What is find chat?
• 24/7 support via AI chat
• Automatically narrows down lost items by entering station names, time frames, and characteristics
• Expected to significantly save labor as a primary response before connecting to an operator
How to use it is super simple:
1. Access the dedicated site
2. Enter information on the chat screen
3. AI suggests candidates -> Connect to human support if necessary
"Spending hours at the counter looking for lost items"... AI solves that kind of stress.
📝 Summary: AI is changing our lives "quietly, but surely"
Apple's AI is in smartphones, and Toei Transportation's AI is in the city's transport infrastructure.
Neither is flashy, but they are moving in a direction that solves our daily inconveniences and frustrations little by little.
AI is not the "future," it is the "now."
And perhaps in the future, it will become even more of a "presence that supports us without us even noticing."
Finally, it would encourage me if you could like, follow, and comment. Thank you very much. 😊
