Apple’s new Siri is a dark horse in the AI race
Two years ago Apple announced its first foray into artificial intelligence. Built largely on in-house models, “Apple Intelligence” promised to turn the iPhone-maker’s boneheaded Siri assistant into a perspicacious PA as clever as the whizziest chatbots but with the added advantage of access to a user’s personal data, alongside various other superpowers. The effort was an embarrassing flop, with Apple having delivered little of what it set out to offer.
