Siri is Getting Smarter

TL/DR:

• Apple’s AI enhancements are set to enhance Siri and other iOS features
• STEER technology to improve digital assistant conversations
• AI-powered image editing, music remixing, and biometric data interpretation on the horizon

A Smarter Siri and Enhanced AI Capabilities

Apple’s AI research is paving the way for groundbreaking advancements, starting with a smarter Siri. As The Verge reports, Apple has been working on integrating large language models, similar to those powering ChatGPT, directly onto mobile devices. This development could lead to significant improvements in Siri’s capabilities and responsiveness.

STEER: Transforming Conversations with Digital Assistants

One of Apple’s most intriguing AI projects is called STEER (Semantic Turn Extension-Expansion Recognition). This technology aims to improve conversations with digital assistants by enabling them to understand follow-up questions and more ambiguous queries. With STEER, Siri could engage in more human-like conversations, making it easier for users to communicate their needs.

AI-Powered Image Editing and Creation

Apple’s AI ambitions extend beyond Siri. The company is exploring AI-powered image editing tools, such as MGIE, which would allow users to edit images using voice commands like “make the sky more blue” or “add some rocks.” Although this technology is still in development, it demonstrates Apple’s commitment to integrating AI across various iOS features.

AI in Biometric Data and Music Remixing

AI could also play a significant role in interpreting biometric data from wearables like the Apple Watch and AirPods. Additionally, Apple has been experimenting with AI-powered music remixing, separating voices from instruments in recorded music to create unique user experiences.

Ferret: An AI to Understand Your Every Move

Perhaps the most fascinating AI project Apple is working on is Ferret. This technology aims to understand user context and provide assistance in navigating apps, describing objects seen through the iPhone camera, and interpreting visuals in future devices like the Vision Pro.

The Future of AI in Apple’s Ecosystem

While a more responsive and accurate Siri is eagerly anticipated, it’s just the beginning of Apple’s AI plans. With iOS 18 set to unveil some of these AI improvements at WWDC next month, users can look forward to a more intelligent and interconnected Apple ecosystem.
