Apple plans to improve Siri by incorporating powerful AI capabilities, making the assistant more conversational and adaptable. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the initiative, known as "LLM Siri," will use Apple's AI models to provide natural, human-like interactions, comparable to OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google Gemini.

What can be expected from LLM Siri?

Siri, facilitated by artificial intelligence, will tackle more difficult tasks, improving its functionality across all Apple devices. Key enhancements include:

1. Advanced Task Handling: Siri will communicate with third-party apps via enhanced App Intents.
2. Text Summarization and Writing: Apple Intelligence will allow Siri to easily summarize and generate text.
3. Screen Context Understanding: Siri can read on-screen content and do contextual actions within apps. Apple intends to disclose these improvements as early as 2024, with a complete revamp due in spring 2026.

How does LLM Siri differ from ChatGPT?

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Apple's Senior Vice President of Software, Craig Federighi, highlighted the unique purposes of Siri and ChatGPT:
1. ChatGPT's Strengths: Ideal for addressing tough queries or producing extensive information.
2. Siri's Usability: Siri is designed for local, device-specific operations like as opening apps, sending texts, and managing smart devices.
Federighi noted that, while both systems are growing, Siri remains focused on providing immediate, local service.

Apple's eventual AI deployment

Apple has taken a cautious stance toward AI integration. Siri recently got ChatGPT integration in the iOS 18.2 beta, which is a huge step forward. Upcoming Siri features include:

1. Executing actions based on the screen context.
2. Better comprehension and execution of app commands.

Conclusion: AI’s Role in Siri’s Future

Apple's AI investment is making Siri a more capable assistant, competing with industry leaders such as OpenAI's ChatGPT. Siri's growth strives to improve user experience throughout the Apple ecosystem while remaining focused on practical, device-centered tasks. This combination of smart AI and local capabilities prepares Siri to make a strong comeback in the digital assistant competition.
