Apple is planning a major artificial intelligence overhaul for Siri in the iOS 18 mobile operating system. On the other hand, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman said that advanced artificial intelligence capabilities for the Siri digital assistant will not initially come to iOS 18. maintained.
Although the “new Siri” features will be introduced at WWDC 2024, Apple will announce them in September, when the first version of “iOS 18” will be seen. that it does not plan to release in 2020 is reported. Instead, Siri will be overhauled in a future iOS 18 update that will be introduced in 2025.
With its new capabilities, Siri can open specific documents, move a note from one folder to another, delete an email, summarize an article, send a web link via email. and will be able to do things like open a specific news site in Apple News. Apple plans to use artificial intelligence to analyze what people do on their devices and automatically enable Siri features.
To make this happen, according to rumors, Apple made a deal with OpenAI to integrate OpenAI’s ChatGPT technology into iOS 18. It is even said that Apple is in talks with Google about including Google Gemini in the system.
It is stated that at launch, the new Siri functionality will be limited to Apple applications and the digital assistant can only respond to one command at a time. Eventually, Apple wants “Siri” to be able to respond to multiple commands, like taking a photo and then sending it to someone via text.
Gurman says that basic artificial intelligence tasks in iOS 18 will be processed on the device, but more advanced capabilities will be connected to Apple’s cloud servers. It should be noted that Gurman had previously said that Apple would implement its privacy-protecting artificial intelligence capabilities on the device without relying on cloud technology, but this statement has changed.
We are very close to learning all the innovations about “iOS and therefore Siri” from official sources at the “WWDC 2024” developer event on June 10.
