As AI chatbots rise, Apple is now reportedly experimenting with language-generating artificial intelligence (AI).
The Cupertino-based tech giant recently held an internal event that focused on AI and large language models, reports The New York Times.
Several teams including people working on Siri voice assistant are testing "language-generating concepts" regularly.
Siri, along with Alexa and Google Assistant have failed to understand various accents.
"The virtual assistants had more than a decade to become indispensable. But they were hampered by clunky design and miscalculations, leaving room for chatbots to rise," the report mentioned.
Apple is reportedly planning to join the AI race after ChatGPT has taken the world by storm.
The company, however, declined to comment on Siri.
