According to some reports, Apple needed to catch up to the development of its own AI software to compete with companies like Microsoft, Google or Microsoft-backed OpenAI. However, previous reports highlighted that Apple could introduce new features to its Siri assistant. As per reports, the tech giant has long lagged behind the competitors like Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa.
