Apple is set to unveil a new iteration of Siri in February 2024, leveraging technology from Google's Gemini AI models. This upcoming release aims to fulfill commitments made by Apple during June 2024, enhancing Siri's ability to interact with user data and on-screen information for task completion.
According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, this version of Siri is expected to offer a more conversational experience comparable to popular chatbots like ChatGPT. Additionally, it may operate directly on Google's cloud platform. This development follows a challenging period for Apple’s AI strategy, marked by internal disputes and leadership changes, including the exit of AI chief John Giannandrea.
Looking ahead, an even more significant update is anticipated for June at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference, suggesting a strategic shift in the company's approach to artificial intelligence following its partnership with Google.
