As the dates approach WWCD 2024, rumors are increasing about a more intelligent Siri linked to the integration of Artificial Intelligence, which promises to evolve in a more than noticeable way to the Voice Assistant that all told, has been somewhat stagnant for some time.
So if you are curious about the improvements we will see in a smarter Siri that may arrive in the coming months with iOS 18, don't miss this article where we will analyze what we expect from our favorite voice assistant and answer a question that is on the mind of more than one user: Will there be a Premium (paid) version of Siri?
What improvements do we expect in a smarter Siri?
Let the AI give you a “boost” intelligence to Siri is something that sooner or later we are all clear will happen at some point. But after testing numerous AIs such as ChatGPT or Bard, if we analyze the probable evolution of the voice assistant, we consider that we can expect it to at least improve in these fields:
Natural language understanding
Thanks to AI developments, we can say that, above all, in the field that has made the most progress and where Apple's well-known voice assistant can benefit the most, it is a greater understanding of natural language.
In the end, neural networks are about that: being able to process what we write in an increasingly precise way, even in complex or contextual conversations, and not so much in moments with canned phrases as it works today.
And as users, this is excellent for us, since it implies a deeper understanding of user intent and an ability to respond more relevantly to what we ask.
More fluid conversations
The AI behind Siri could improve to maintain more fluid and natural conversations, even providing it with certain traits more associated with humans, such as memory or even some value bias.
This would include the ability to remember the context of a previous conversation and make relevant connections accordingly, or even be able to advise you based on the experience that has been collected from you and other people.
And even Siri may develop skills to recognize and respond to the user's emotions more effectively, which could make interactions more human and empathetic.
Personalized adaptation to the user
Thanks to AI, Siri could become smarter by better adapting to individual user preferences and needs, based on the study of what we ask, where we move and how we do it.
This could involve learning from behavioral patterns, such as frequent queries, to provide more personalized and useful answers to you individually, rather than a generic answer for everyone.
Integration with other services
And here I am going to make a point: as long as Apple opens up its AI and allows it to be integrated into other related services, There is a strong possibility that Siri will interact seamlessly with a variety of third-party services and applications, which would expand its usefulness and ability to help users with a variety of tasks.
And at this point is where Apple would have a great asset to shake up the market against the proposals of Google or Samsung, which are already beginning to show their “first steps” in AI with the latest Pixel or the Galaxy S24.
Rumorology: Will Siri be smarter for payment?
Yeux112, a regular leaker of Apple news of Korean origin, has leaked that A “new Siri” linked to the AJAX project is expected to be presented at the WWCD in 2024, which could have paid subscriptions.
The Ajax project is a “old acquaintance” of the underworld of the usual rumor mill, and that in fact we talked here in a news story about the hypothetical Apple GPT relatively recently.
Basically, It is the code name given to that Apple AI that will be similar to ChatGPT and in which it is estimated that Apple would be investing an amount of 5.000 million dollars in building all the data centers that this new technology would need.
That is to say, although it has something similar with Chat GPT, it will not be a fork as is the case. LuzIA app, for example. Here we hope for development from scratch, made by Apple, and which is going to be very data-intensive.
Honestly, although Yeux112 does not justify where the data comes from, I think he is right to think that perhaps Apple is considering a Premium version of Siri, or unless it's tied to an Apple One roll package.
In the end, let's think that AI in a mobile phone is something that today is in its infancy and that it is not something that the mass public demands openly, but is more aimed at the curious. It does make sense that in order to make the investment profitable and, in the process, cross-sell, the payment model for more advanced services is chosen.
The future of the smarter Siri, closely linked to iOS 18
What is surely clear to me, as a user and connoisseur of the company, is that the launch of the new Siri with AI goes hand in hand with iOS 18, since it seems easier to me to start integrating new services into a new operating system with a kernel prepared for it, than to be patching outdated versions with the risk of bugs that may occur.
In the end, let us not forget that what Apple is at stake here is differentiation: It is already late to the dance, so it will have to dazzle users who will already know from the proposals of Google or Samsung the benefits of AI integrated into a phone, which go far beyond a smarter assistant.
Will Siri be up to the task? Time will tell, without a doubt, and we will be here at iPhoneA2 to tell you.
