Apple under pressure to shine after AI stumble
8 June 2025 09:19 SAN FRANCISCO (AFP)Pressure is on Apple to show it hasn't lost its magic despite broken promises to ramp up iPhones with generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) as rivals race ahead with the will showcase plans for its coveted devices and the software powering them at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) kicking off Monday in Silicon event comes a year after the tech titan said a suite of AI features it dubbed Apple Intelligence was heading for iPhones, including an improvement of its much criticised Siri voice Apple delayed the rollout of the Siri upgrade, with hopes that it will be available in time for the next iPhone release, expected in the fall."Apple advertised a lot of features as if they were going to be available, and it just didn't happen," noted Emarketer senior analyst Gadjo Sevilla."I don't think there is going to be that much of a celebratory tone at WWDC," the analyst told AFP. "It could be more of a way for Apple to recover some credibility by showing where they're headed."Industry insiders will be watching to see whether Apple addresses the AI stumble or focuses on less splashy announcements, including a rumoured overhaul of its operating systems for its line of devices."The bottom line is Apple seemed to underestimate the AI shift, then over-promised features, and is now racing to catch up," Gene Munster and Brian Baker of Deepwater Asset Management wrote in a WWDC preview also include talk that Apple may add GenAI partnerships with Google or Perplexity to an OpenAI alliance announced a year its lineup with AI is only one of Apple's who build apps and tools to run on the company's products, may be keen for Apple to loosen its tight control of access to iPhones.A lawsuit by Fortnite maker Epic Games ended with Apple being ordered to allow outside payment systems to be used at the US App Store, but developers may want more, analysts have to the WWDC buildup is that the legendary designer behind the iPhone, Jony Ive, has joined with ChatGPT maker OpenAI to create a potential rival device for engaging with while unlikely to come up at WWDC, Apple has to deal with tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump in his trade war with China, a key market for sales growth as well as the place where most iPhones are made. Trump has also threatened to hit Apple with tariffs if iPhone production wasn't moved to the US, which analysts say is impossible given the costs and capabilities.

Why Most Businesses Are Still Struggling to Win with AI
AI is everywhere. It's the cornerstone of transformation roadmaps, the centrepiece of boardroom conversations, and increasingly, the north star of enterprise innovation. A recent Qlik study revealed that 86% of senior executives say AI is now central to their organisation's business strategy. Yet, only a small fraction are seeing the meaningful business outcomes they hoped for. A parallel report by Kyndryl paints a similar picture. Despite the enthusiasm, most businesses are still stuck in the early phases of AI maturity. Only 5% of organisations are considered 'AI Pacesetters'— those that successfully use AI at scale and see significant returns. So what's going wrong? The AI Execution Gap Is Real Both reports point to a sobering truth: strategy alone isn't enough. There's a wide and growing gap between AI ambition and AI execution, and it's costing companies time, money, and competitive advantage. 'Organisations clearly recognise that merely investing in AI is insufficient; what matters now is delivering tangible outcomes. Yet, as our research underscores, the road to production AI remains blocked by persistent hurdles—cost, complexity, and data fragmentation,' said Mike Capone, CEO of Qlik. Closing the AI execution gap requires more than aspiration—it demands practical solutions that simplify data integration, ensure governance, and empower better decision-making. This pressure is even more intense with generative AI dominating leadership agendas. The pace of genAI evolution amplifies organisational anxiety and widens the gap between intent and capability. Eric Hanselman, Chief Analyst at S&P Global Market Intelligence, said, 'The fast-evolving GenAI landscape pressures enterprises to move swiftly, sometimes sacrificing caution as they strive to stay competitive. Many are deploying GenAI tools before fully understanding their implications, especially with the surge of SaaS platforms embedding genAI capabilities.' Recent research from S&P, 'The 2025 Thales Data Threat Report' revealed that nearly 70% of organisations consider the fast pace of generative AI development the leading challenge tied to AI adoption, followed by concerns over integrity (64%) and trustworthiness (57%). Enterprises are leveraging AI to accelerate product development, enhance CXs, improve training, speed drug discovery, and optimise operations. However, the rapid adoption of genAI introduces complex challenges that organisations must navigate carefully. The Five Core Blockers Include: 1. Workforce Inertia and Fear Kyndryl found that 71% of leaders believe their workforce isn't ready to adopt AI. 45% say there's active resistance or even fear of job displacement due to AI. 2. Talent and Skills Shortages Over half of the organisations surveyed (51%) admit they lack the necessary AI-skilled talent to scale effectively. Many are not investing fast enough in reskilling or change management. 3. Data Complexity Qlik's report shows most organisations are bogged down by fragmented data systems, legacy infrastructure, and inconsistent governance models. Nearly 80% of respondents say these issues are their biggest barriers to realising AI's full potential. 4. Leadership Disconnects

As the total learner base reaches 1.3 million, the UAE's appetite for digital skills shows no signs of slowing to the report, GenAI course enrolments alone surged by 344% year on year — more than double the regional growth rate — while professional certificate and cybersecurity enrolments jumped by 41% and 14%, are playing an increasingly active role in this transition, accounting for 21% of GenAI learners in the UAE, 24% of those enrolled in STEM-related fields, and 23% in professional certificate programmes. Learning habits reflect a younger, mobile-first generation, with 41% of users accessing courses via mobile, and a median learner age of the employer side, demand is rising sharply for expertise in AI and machine learning (up 139%) and customer service (up 96%), while top learner skills in the UAE ranged from corporate accounting and predictive analytics to emerging technologies and leadership development. The UAE's broader economic and policy frameworks are a key driver of this momentum, the report said, pointing out the We the UAE 2031 strategy and workforce development programmes like Nafis, which 'are exceeding private-sector employment targets' and form part of a national vision for a tech-enabled society centred around innovation and competencies. Building on this foundation, the country deployed a wider set of strategies, such as UAE Vision 2030, the Strategy for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the Emirates Blockchain Strategy, and the UAE Centennial 2071, to support the growth and prosperity of future-focused business sectors.
