Looking at the A16 chip and the neural engine on it, I am really happy to see machine learning and "AI stuff" moving onto my phone, away from the cloud.
I can't wait to see phones becoming a place for _useful_ AI use cases — with the privacy improvements of on-device computation.
This isn't really new for Apple, they've been doing as much AI stuff on device as possible, there isn't really any change with the A16 as far as I'm aware, just more bigger.
