Apple Reportedly Plans to Develop Siri into an AI Agent

Jakarta (ANTARA) - Apple is reportedly developing its virtual assistant Siri into an artificial intelligence (AI) agent that can perform tasks more proactively and autonomously from next year.

MacRumors reported on Sunday (8 November, local time) that Apple aims to develop Siri so it can work like advanced AI agents such as OpenAI’s Dots and Meta’s Muse.

Unlike conventional virtual assistants, which are passive, AI agents can follow users’ instructions, automatically determine what to do next and carry out a series of tasks without waiting for instructions at every stage.

The push from Apple’s top leadership indicates a shift in the company’s focus towards creating a more intelligent AI ecosystem.

Although the technical implementation has not yet been detailed publicly, enhanced AI agent capabilities are projected to become a key pillar of future generations of Apple’s operating systems.
