Siri in iOS 18: New Features and Improved Privacy
The innovations are related to the Ajax large language model, designed for iOS 18. In particular, Siri will receive an update that allows you to summarize texts and analyze documents directly on the device, which should improve functionality without the need for data processing in the cloud.
Apple intends to use its own developments in the field of generative AI to enhance the convenience of applications integrated into billions of devices around the world. This area of development is characterized by an emphasis on the practical benefits and privacy of data: all processing takes place directly on the user's device.
Document Analysis and Text Summarization
Among the planned innovations are smart article summarization in Safari, improved search in Spotlight, and Siri integration with the Messages app. The new AI features are expected to greatly simplify text processing by providing users with only the most important information and analyzing the contents of messages to create simplified responses.
A key feature of the update will be the ability of Siri and other applications to generate responses directly on the device, which allows not only to speed up the operation of functions, but also significantly increase the level of privacy of user data. The development of such capabilities is part of Apple's strategy to provide high-tech solutions that support a strict privacy policy.
Apple's internal test environments show that Ajax is capable of text processing and resume creation without connecting to servers, which makes these technologies especially valuable in an environment where data privacy is crucial. It is important to note that advanced AI features such as on-demand text generation may still require cloud processing.
Data Processing on the Device: How Apple Increases Privacy in Siri
In the context of maintaining privacy, Apple continues to improve its technologies so that data processing is carried out exclusively on the device, minimizing possible threats to user privacy.
Compared to other AI applications and services, such as OpenAI's ChatGPT, Siri's new capabilities provide unique advantages due to integration with other built-in Apple applications and independence from external servers, which increases functionality and data security
