Apple is working on a major update to its Siri digital assistant, aiming to make it more conversational and responsive, as the company looks to compete with advanced AI models like ChatGPT. According to Bloomberg, the new version of Siri will be powered by more sophisticated large language models, enabling users to have back-and-forth conversations with the assistant, much like interacting with a human. The updated Siri is currently being tested on iPhones, iPads, and Macs, with the goal of improving its ability to handle complex queries and follow up on previous interactions. Unlike the current version of Siri, which is often limited to responding to one-off requests, the new Siri will offer a more fluid conversational experience, making it better suited for dynamic, ongoing dialogues. This conversational overhaul is expected to be part of Apple's upcoming software updates, which include iOS 19 and macOS 16. The company could announce the update as soon as next year, marking a significant step forward for the digital assistant. With rivals like Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa already offering more robust conversational capabilities, Apple’s update aims to level the playing field and give Siri a more natural, intuitive way to assist users in everyday tasks.
