WWDC is one of the most important times of the year for Apple. It’s the biggest developer event in the Big Apple and takes place every year in early June. At this event, new software releases for the following year are presented and immediately after, beta versions are released so that developers can start testing the new operating systems. It seems, WWDC24 will bring big changes to iOS 18 with the integration of generative AI into the Siri virtual assistant. Everything is still rumors and many aspects are unknown, but it seems that Apple is going to take the step that we have all been waiting for.
iOS 18 will include Siri enriched with generative AI
We have been hearing for a long time about artificial intelligence at Apple, machine learning models, language… but we don’t understand anything clearly. What we can be clear about is that at the Cupertino headquarters they are advancing in many territories simultaneously. In fact, the name of Ajax is the one chosen to refer to the artificial intelligence model with which you will power a large part of your tools over time.
Everything seems to indicate according to the latest publications that Siri will undergo a big change with iOS 18 and all this will be presented at WWDC24 this year. Siri can have natural conversations with greater user personalization thanks to the integration of this generative AI with Ajax.
It is still early to predict what type of generative AI Siri will integrate, but the integration of a system similar to shortcuts or what has been called “a Apple-specific creation service“. The door has also been opened to connecting Siri with external services via an API, something that we have also been waiting for a long time and that comes with the incorporation of AI can be good news.

Finally, there are also a series of rumors suggesting that some of this artificial intelligence linked to Siri will be presented as a subscription service, which would mean that not everyone would be able to access the same features. And Apple’s services are working very well and they could have found a new business niche.
