Apple Execs Get Seriously Flustered Trying to Explain the Company's Dismal AI Failure

Apple is facing some intense scrutiny after yet again flubbing its AI tech. During the company's Worldwide Developers Conference on Tuesday, the company showed off its latest vision for "Apple Intelligence," a suite of tools that use machine learning to scan images for objects or smush emojis together to form custom Franken-reacts — cutesy ideas that fall vastly short of the ambition of competitors in the space like OpenAI. The Wall Street Journal's Joanna Stern sat down with Apple's software

Apple explains Siri delays, teases more new features are coming

During its WWDC keynote, Apple addressed one big elephant in the room: Siri’s delayed features that were announced last year but never shipped. And now in a new interview, Siri’s recently-appointed boss Craig Federighi has explained more of the reasoning behind the delay, and teased even more new features are coming. Craig Federighi promises Apple will ship every Siri feature previously announced ‘and more’ Craig Federighi is Apple’s software chief, and as such tends to get a lot of PR time du

Apple categorically denies Siri vaporware claims, and offers a better explanation [Video]

Siri got lots of airtime at last year's WWDC – but not this year There’s no denying that Apple made a major mis-step when it showed off impressive new Siri features during last year’s WWDC, before doubling-down in an iPhone 16 ad. The company was forced to delete the ad and walk back the timing. That led even the most upbeat of Apple commenters to criticize the company for showing off “vaporware,” implying that the demos had been faked. But two Apple execs have now categorically denied this, a
