Apple Watch Series 12 debuts 'Audio Intelligence' with conversation rewind

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Apple has introduced a new 'Audio Intelligence' feature for the Apple Watch Series 12, designed to enhance user awareness and interaction with their surroundings. This feature utilizes the watch's microphone and the S11 chip to provide real-time transcriptions of conversations, alerts for important sounds like alarms or cries, and music identification similar to Shazam. Apple emphasizes privacy by processing audio within a Secure Exclave on the S11 chip, ensuring that raw audio is not stored or accessible by the company or users, and offering opt-out options for all features.

IMPACT Enhances accessibility and user awareness through on-device AI processing, potentially setting new standards for wearable AI features.
