Apple Pictures of City and Country: Pictures for AI training in future also

Apple expands data sources to train its AI model. In the future, images taken by the in -house fleet of camera vehicles and camera bags should be flowed not only in the map service, but also the first time in further development of other products and services of the group. This includes, for example, “image recognition, construction and improvement” training of model, as Apple has noted to its update information page on Apple Maps Image Recording.

For AI training, “blurred images that will be collected in surveys from March 2025” are used, Apple explains in German translationThis is possibly the meaning of images of roads and regions taken by camera vehicles and backpacks. People and license plates should be automatically made unfamiliar (“staining”) and are used only in this customized form for AI training.

Apple intelligence information so far with some image functions

The work apple wants to improve solid words that remain open for time. Apple Intelligence, which also comes in Germany with iOS 18.4 in early April, includes unwanted photo elements and functions for the AI ​​image generation to remove “visual intelligence”. The latter function captures the physical environment through the iPhone camera and tries to provide reference information and additional actions. For the central tasks for image analysis, however, visual intelligence in the form of phoalback integrates chatgpt and Google image search.

Apple’s cameraflotte is currently not on the road within Germany, accordingly no image data has been collected for AI training purposes in this country. Vehicles were the most recently traveled in Germany in 2023 and 2024, but till now Apple has clearly not clearly fed in the map service at his Street View equivalent.

AI training with illegal web content

Similar to the rest of the industry, Apple has also used its own voice model on unixed web content and only communicated an option for opt-out. Apple’s AI initiative has been rapidly criticized recently as the group is not yet able to implement tasks for Siri Voice Assistance System (and already marketing in advertisements). Internal, the Siri team is now subject to new management.
