Siri’s Real AI Upgrade Could Still Be Years Away
Siri's AI upgrade is expected to take time due to challenges in securing necessary training hardware, ineffective leadership, and a struggle to deliver a combined system that can handle both simple and advanced requests. The new architecture, planned for release in iOS 20 at best by 2027, aims to merge the old Siri with its LLM-powered abilities. However, Apple's models have reached their limits, raising concerns about the company's ability to improve its AI capabilities.
- The struggle of securing necessary training hardware highlights a broader issue in the tech industry: how will we bridge the gap between innovation and practical implementation?
- Will the eventual release of Siri's modernized version lead to increased investment in education and re-skilling programs for workers in the field, or will it exacerbate existing talent shortages?
