When Apple Intelligence was unveiled last summer one of Apple The most striking demos showed that the Siri language assistant juggled several apps to plan a lunch from a flight to a user after landing.
These skills will not come soon.
Apple announced on Friday that the functions are delayed to delay the Siri with the possibility of taking other apps by next year. This function is expected to be published this spring.
Another delay of Siri, which is also delayed, would have made it possible to use what Apple describes as a “personal context”. For example, Siri could be able to fill out forms on behalf of the user with their personal data, based on their driver's license numbers, which were taken from a photo.
“We also worked on a personalized siri to sharpen him more for your personal context, as well as the ability to take measures within and through your apps,” said an Apple representative in a statement. “It will take longer than we took on these functions and we expect us to roll out in the coming year.”
The delay underlines some of the challenges that Apple faces to develop a next generation voice assistant who uses the latest technology for artificial intelligence to be more useful and more talkative. The pressure has increased since the arrival of Openais Chatgpt, which started at the end of 2022 and launched in the era of the generative AI.
In addition to Openaai, Apple risks that they fall behind rivals like Amazon, which announced an improved Alexa Voice assistant last month, but did not publish it, and Google, which develops similar functions with its Gemini assistant. But all the language assistants of the consumers had problems with false answers and task automation.
Many Apple devices have already received some Siri upgrades if they support Apple Intelligence, including more conversation functions, a new look that shines the entire telephone screen and integration into chatt.
Apple Intelligence also contains functions that generate text or images, edit photos and summarize notifications. These functions are currently available on newer iPhones.
The delay of the charged functions of Siri is not the first input of Apple with problems that adapted to the AI of the New Age-Ki.
At the beginning of this year, the Apple Intelligence summaries for news apps such as the New York Times and BBC disabled the company after the users found that the AI system twisted headlines to display inaccurate facts.
Apple also counts on its army of app developers, the basis for the next generation of Siri assistants will be based on the development of code-code Apple “App intentions”. This code should enable the AI reinforced Siri to use functions in your apps.
While developers can currently create and test intentions, they can only create in Siri until Apple publishes a beta version of the updated assistant. Apple usually announces great new software functions at its WWDC conference in June.
