AI News Tracker: Apple’s Siri is planning to allow rival chatbots to provide AI services
Apple’s Siri will allow chatbots from rivals
If Apple’s all-conquering tech empire has one weakness, it is that its voice assistant Siri seriously lags behind the AI capabilities of its rivals. For a few years now, while new Apple products have been touted as ‘AI ready’ with chips that could handle advanced artificial intelligence use, Siri’s capabilities have been a damp squib. While currently Apple has a deal with OpenAI’s ChatGPT for AI services, a report in Bloomberg states that with the upcoming IOS27 update, third party AI apps will be allowed to integrate with Siri. This will allow users to route queries to chatbots like Anthropic’s Claude or Alphabet’s Gemini, and even choose which chatbot handles what kind of requests.
