I worked in the AI/ML org at Apple for a few recent years. They are not a live player to even the extent that Google Brain was a live player before it was cannibalized.
When Apple says “AI”, they really mean “a bunch of specialized ML algorithms from warring fiefdoms, huddling together in a trenchcoat”, and I don’t see Tim Cook’s proclamation as anything but cheap talk.
