Apple plans to make revolutionary changes to the Siri assistant based on generative artificial intelligence (AI) and will announce it at the WWDC 2024 annual developer conference, which will be held from June 10 to 14, The New York Times reports.

According to the source, the new Siri will have improved capabilities to understand queries and context, and will also learn to interact with data from the web, like the popular ChatGPT chatbot. In addition, it will be able to analyze and understand all incoming text messages and notifications.

According to The New York Times, Apple CEO Craig Federighi and the company's vice president of AI and machine learning, John Giannandrea, personally tested ChatGPT and realized that Siri needed to be upgraded to stay competitive in the market.

One of the main advantages of the new Siri will be its enhanced privacy. Apple says most requests will be processed directly on the device and not sent to the cloud, making them even more secure.

In addition, the newspaper notes that the company plans to increase the RAM of future iPhone 16 models so that Siri and the related features of large language models work as well as possible.
