Apple rolls out new, AI-powered Siri at annual WWDC

CUPERTINO, California: Apple on Monday unveiled a series of AI upgrades to Siri, including better voice recognition and a standalone app, rolling out a long-anticipated overhaul in its AI assistant that the iPhone maker has been striving to improve for the last two years.

Apple announced the revamp, called “Siri AI,” at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference at its Cupertino, California, headquarters. Siri AI is capable of analyzing what is on the device screen, and has what Apple called “broad world knowledge” that allows it to reach out to the web for more information, Apple said.
