AI Lab is a playful way to explore machine learning on your iPhone and iPad. Point your camera at anything and watch AI name what it sees — instantly and entirely on your device. New: hold it up to the world and let it listen, too. Two ways to sense the world • Camera: live, on-device image recognition with clear, ranked confidence and the top result featured front and centre • Microphone: recognise everyday sounds — no download, powered by Apple's built-in sound classifier A whole library of models Start right away with Apple's built-in Vision classifier (nothing to download), then add more advanced CoreML models when you want them — from fast and tiny to state of the art. Each model shows its release year, a power rating and its download size, so you always know what you're getting. Search and browse by category: objects, scenes, people, food and more. Made to explore • One-tap quick actions for live recognition and listening, right next to search • Compare two models on the same photo, side by side — take a new photo or pick one from your library • Share a comparison as a beautifully formatted email, with the photo and each model's results • Tap any result to learn more, and freeze a frame to save it to your photos • Manage storage: see sizes, track download progress, cancel or remove models Built for everyone • Hear the top result read aloud — ideal for VoiceOver users and hands-free use • Adjust speech in Settings: on/off, speed, language and voice, with a mute button on the recognition screen • Dynamic Type and clear, high-contrast labels throughout Privacy first Your photos and audio are processed entirely on your device and are never uploaded. AI Lab shows no ads and never sells your data; only anonymous, aggregate usage statistics help us make the app better. A note on accuracy The models are provided as-is. Recognition is a probability, not a fact — results can be wrong, and models that estimate sensitive traits (such as age, gender or emotion) are approximate and should never be treated as truth about a real person. A newer, more powerful device makes everything faster and more fun.
