Apple Greets Developers at WWDC as an AI Spoilsport

(Bloomberg Opinion) — You know, it could just be a coincidence. On the eve of Apple Inc.’s World Wide Developers’ Conference, a new paper from the company’s own researchers poured some cold water over some of the artificial-intelligence hype.

The study argues that the advanced reasoning models, heralded by some as a new frontier for how AI “thinks,” fall well short of expectations. When a problem becomes sufficiently complex, the team of six researchers wrote, the models suffered a “complete accuracy collapse.”
