How to watch WWDC 2020

The event kicks off at 10 a.m. PT on June 22 with the main keynote presentation. There are lots of ways to tune in. You can stream the show at apple.com, on YouTube, by using the Apple Developer app or website, and on the Apple TV app. A live video of the presentation will be embedded in this article as soon as it is available, so make sure to check back regularly.

After the keynote, at 2 p.m. PT, Apple will start its Platforms State of the Union address, which takes a deeper look at how MacOS, iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and tvOS have developed over the last year. This will be available to stream on the Apple Developer app and website.

Throughout the week, Apple will host more than 100 engineering sessions. Each of these will go in-depth on a topic, showing developers how to use all the latest and upcoming features in Apple’s operating systems to build or improve their apps. Videos will be posted at 10 a.m. PT each day during the week and will be available on the Apple Developer app and website.

Developers will also be able to attend virtual one-on-one sessions with Apple engineers. These will be by appointment only and are particularly useful for developers who have a certain question or problem in mind.

Finally, a new addition this year are Apple Developer Forums. More than 1,000 Apple engineers will be in attendance to answer questions posted by the community. Anyone can view the questions and answers, but only Apple Developer Program members can ask new questions.

What to expect at WWDC 2020

The Mac is expected to have a large presence at WWDC, with the long-rumored switch to ARM processors potentially in the cards. Elsewhere, Apple may preview new devices, including a redesigned iMac, Tile-like Bluetooth trackers called AirTags, and over-ear headphones called either StudioPods or AirPods Studio.

Apple uses WWDC to preview upcoming versions of its operating systems, and this year will be no different. You can also expect to see all the new features in iOS 14, iPadOS14, macOS 10.16, watchOS 7, and tvOS 14.

We will have all the details on everything Apple announces as it happens, so check back throughout the event for more info.

Google and Cathay Pacific are using AI to tackle aviation’s overlooked climate problem
A third of aviation's climate impact comes from contrails most people never think about.

Those wispy white lines trailing behind airplanes (called contrails) sure look harmless from the ground, but they're doing more damage to the climate than we realize.

As part of Operating Blue Skies, Google has partnered with Cathay Pacific, one of the major international airlines operating both passenger and cargo flights, to test and deploy AI-driven contrail mitigation technology across a region where air travel is growing faster than anywhere else: Asia Pacific.

As AI takes over schools, teachers are going back to basics to curb AI cheating
AI detectors kept getting it wrong, so schools are trying something that actually works.
ChatGPT on iPhone

Last year, teachers spent most of their energy trying to catch students using ChatGPT to write essays. This year, many have decided that's a losing battle, especially since the detectors meant to catch cheaters have been burning innocent students instead. 

A Bloomberg investigation found popular tools like GPTZero and Copyleaks wrongly flagged pre-ChatGPT college essays as AI-written, and one UC Davis senior was accused of cheating and handed a zero on his midterm, purely based on a detector's score, even though he wrote every word himself.

Meta’s Muse agent is getting closer, and it might take over your to-do list
Meta’s upcoming AI life manager does more than just answer questions.

While most people's idea of AI is just a chatbot, agentic uses help build them as something more. Finding an email attachment, remembering a deadline, or following up on something that many people can take advantage of. Meta’s upcoming Muse agent is coming in as that solution.

Early screenshots shared by TestingCatalog show a personal assistant that can proactively handle everyday tasks and keep track of longer-term goals. The agent has reportedly moved from internal testing into a limited closed alpha, with invite-code functionality now appearing alongside its waitlist.
