US-based technology giant Apple is expected to unveil a series of artificial intelligence (AI)-focused updates and new software capabilities as its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) begins on Monday, according to multiple reports. 

Apple’s annual event, which traditionally focuses on software and developer tools rather than hardware launches, this year is likely to provide insights into Apple's evolving AI strategy as the company seeks to catch up with rivals in the rapidly evolving artificial intelligence race.
