Image Playground on your iPhone is getting a major boost — thanks to ChatGPT
Last year, Apple unveiled Image Playground — a tool to turn your descriptions or people from your photo library into AI images. It was plagued with issues, complaints, and users feeling it was lagging behind the best AI image generators. But now Apple is bringing it back — with a little help. The company announced at WWDC 2025 it is integrating ChatGPT into Image Playground in order to turn things around. This should allow for better, more advanced AI image generation while using the software. Previously, Image Playground was limited to fairly generic emoji-style images. Now, through the integration of a ChatGPT setting, users can choose to generate an image in any art style or, they can drill down to oil painting, watercolour, vector, anime or print. Whenever a user tries to generate an image through Image Playground like this, Apple will send the request off to ChatGPT to generate the image. However, Apple has made it clear that it won't share any personal information with ChatGPT without the user's permission. Apple is making a clear effort to push Image Playground further. Not only does it have integration with ChatGPT, but the feature is being made more accessible throughout iOS. Users can generate unique images that fit a conversation in Messages and set that as their background. It can also be accessed through Apple's Shortcuts update. Apple Intelligence may be lagging behind its competition, but the company's deepening relationship with OpenAI could help make up ground. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Apple is making a clear effort to push Image Playground further. Apple announced it was bringing ChatGPT to Siri last year and has continued to cram ChatGPT features into a various parts of its apps, like Notes and Mail. This is a direction other companies have used successfully, piggy-backing on the success of the largest AI models to boost an ecosystem without having to produce a competitive AI model — something both expensive and time-consuming. The feature isn't quite here yet. ChatGPT integration in Apple Playground will launch alongside iOS 26, which is expected to drop in September alongside the iPhone 17 family.

U.S. Insurers to More Than Double AI Investment in the Next 3-5 Years: Wipro Report
EAST BRUNSWICK, N.J. & BENGALURU, India, June 12, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Wipro Limited (NYSE: WIT, BSE: 507685, NSE: WIPRO), a leading AI-powered technology services and consulting company, today announced the release of its "The AI Advantage: Building Tomorrow's Insurance Enterprise" report. The report, which includes responses from 100 business leaders from U.S. insurance companies with revenues surpassing $500 million, reveals an industry actively embracing Artificial Intelligence's (AI's) potential. As insurance firms look to leverage AI to transform their core processes, the report shows that AI is set to become a much bigger part of Information Technology (IT) budgets, with 81 percent of firms planning to increase AI spending within the next year and most firms looking to more than double AI budgets - from 8 percent today to 20 percent - in the next 3-5 years. Almost all (92 percent) of respondents agree that AI is essential for maintaining their competitive edge in customer experience and personalization. However, the findings point to a two-speed market, where larger firms lead AI adoption - with their robust governance frameworks and vast data resources - while many mid-sized and smaller firms face hurdles from legacy systems to limited AI expertise. Underwriting is one of the main areas where insurers are aiming to derive value from AI. With its ability to process large volumes of structured and unstructured data, AI is increasingly helping insurers realize enhanced efficiencies and precision in underwriting. While all insurers are working to integrate AI into the underwriting process, only less than half (46 percent) say they have extensively implemented AI systems into their underwriting workflows. Looking into the future, insurers expect AI to transform underwriting, with 68 percent indicating that it will bring enhanced risk assessment accuracy and cost savings, 65 percent saying that it will enhance compliance with regulatory requirements, and 62 percent anticipating improved customer satisfaction and retention using AI. One of the main challenges in AI adoption is external and internal risks, according to the findings of the survey. While AI enables faster and more accurate decisions, it also introduces risks of bias and reputational damage. Alarmingly, 21 percent of insurers - 44 percent of smaller firms - still lack formal AI usage policies, leaving them exposed to compliance challenges as AI regulations evolve. Integration is another pressing concern for AI adoption in insurance, with 71 percent of insurers citing difficulties merging AI with legacy systems. In tackling this challenge, most (65 percent) firms are adopting a phased approach to implementation to mitigate risk and ensure smoother integration. Inter-departmental collaboration is emerging as a top priority as firms look to reap the maximum benefits from AI implementation. Forty-one percent of firms say that they are reinforcing cross-functional collaboration between AI experts and underwriters. Meanwhile, almost half (47 percent) of the respondents say they are investing in upskilling their workforce and hiring AI talent to ensure they have the right skillset for an AI-first era. "AI adoption is no longer optional, it is essential to future success," said Ritesh Talapatra, Vice President and Sector Head for Capital Markets and Insurance, Wipro Limited. "As firms that drive enterprise-wide AI adoption start to reap the flywheel effects, those slower to adapt will risk being left behind. Investing in a strong data, governance and technical foundation, and aligning AI initiatives to shared business objectives will be critical to success. For firms starting on the journey, prioritizing quick wins and investing in building the foundation necessary for scale will be the key. Ultimately, the industry will need to recognize that AI is not just an innovation, it is the new foundation of success in insurance." Read the full report here.
