Siri was pretty mind blowing when Apple launched it alongside the iPhone 4S in 2011. Back then, voice assistants were brand new – but in the intervening years, thanks to the arrival of Amazon and Google's own attempts, Siri has begun to look a little, er, less intelligent than her competitors. But that could change as soon as next year – with a little help from AI.
According to various reports, Apple has been working overtime on a new on-device AI-powered assistant for the iPhone. Rumour has it Apple has created a large language model (LLM) designed to turn Siri into the ultimate AI assistant. And about time too.
