ROB SCHMITZ, HOST:
Apple’s digital assistant Siri may soon have a lot more to say.
MICHEL MARTIN, HOST:
Yes, Siri is now getting revamped with ChatGPT, part of a major deal the company announced yesterday.
SCHMITZ: NPR’s tech correspondent Dara Kerr has been following the news and is here to talk about it. Good morning, Dara.
DARA KERR, BYLINE: Good morning.
SCHMITZ: So, Dara, tell us about what Apple has announced.
KERR: So every year, Apple has this big developer conference, and mostly it’s for tech insiders. But a lot of people were watching yesterday. And that’s because it was rumored that Apple was going to announce a partnership with OpenAI, the company that makes ChatGPT. And at the very end of its nearly two-hour-long keynote, that announcement came.
SCHMITZ: And why is that significant? What difference will this make for, say, the average, you know, iPhone user?
KERR: Yeah, so with Siri now, you can ask it questions, and it’ll point you where to find answers on the web. But when it gets integrated with ChatGPT, we’ll have OpenAI’s technology and be able to scrape the web and form its own answers. So if you ask it something like how to make a Philly cheesesteak, it will search recipes all over the web and come back with its own ingredient list and cooking instructions. And like ChatGPT, Siri will also be able to compose essays or stories. Here’s how Apple software chief Craig Federighi explains it.
CRAIG FEDERIGHI: Suppose you want to create a custom bedtime story for your 6-year-old, who loves butterflies and solving riddles. Put in your initial idea and send it to ChatGPT to get something back she’ll love.
SCHMITZ: I think the jury’s out on how many 6-year-olds would love a ChatGPT-inspired story, but it seems like we are hearing about the evolution of AI every day. Has Apple been under the gun to compete?
KERR: Apple definitely has been feeling the pressure. Other major tech companies like Google, Facebook, and Microsoft have already rolled out AI tools. But I should say it hasn’t necessarily been smooth sailing for all of these companies. For instance, just last week, Google announced it was pulling back on its new AI-assisted search tool. And that’s because within hours of its debut, the tool is giving people all sorts of wacky and possibly dangerous answers. And, you know, ChatGPT itself has also been accused of all sorts of things, including plagiarism, copyright infringement. It’s made things up and has given incorrect and biased answers. So once Siri gets ChatGPT, and if it starts to do that, it could be really risky for Apple.
SCHMITZ: Yeah, it sounds like it. I mean, so is Apple basically outsourcing its AI development to this company?
KERR: No, not completely. It also announced its own batch of AI-centric tools yesterday. It’s grouping all of this in what the company calls Apple Intelligence. But these are tools that will be familiar to us because we’ve seen them in other companies’ products. There’s things like writing tools that can draft emails and letters or essays to your 6-year-old. Basically, what we’re seeing is nothing really new, but it’s the first time we’ve seen Apple really take a hold of AI. And why this is significant is that millions of people own Apple’s iPhone and its other products. So essentially, the company will be bringing ChatGPT and its other AI tools to a huge new group of people.
SCHMITZ: Trying to turn artificial intelligence into Apple Intelligence. NPR tech correspondent, Dara Kerr, thank you.
