Xcode coding assistance rumored to be early Apple generative AI effort

A new report suggests that Apple is nearing completion of a slate of new AI based tools to help developers code and test applications within Xcode.Xcode to get new AI-powered coding and testing toolsThe new Xcode feature will allegedly work similarly to Microsoft's GitHub Copilot, which uses OpenAI technology to suggest code and functions in real-time in a code editor. GitHub Copilot is part of Microsoft's Copilot suite of AI-powered tools.According to a Bloomberg report, the new tools will 'use artificial intelligence to predict and complete blocks of code,' which would streamline the coding process for developers. Apple is also allegedly exploring the use of AI to generate code for testing applications, a process can be particularly tedious. Rumor Score:
