Apple is going to make big changes in Siri voice assistant. Going to "Hay Siri" now just "Siri".

Apple engineers are working to remove Hay.

Whenever you give a command to Siri Voice Assistant, instead of "hay siri", now only Siri will say.

[{"selector":"#anim-3d720cf9-a535-4670-bcb1-2a92765e3eb1 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e7cc4ccf-2187-42ea-af0e-34cb3bb25d83","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7939b69a-03c0-44f3-b142-b6bfa8304304","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 171.48406%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Image Credit: Google

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says that this is “a technical challenge that requires a significant amount of AI training and underlying engineering work.”

Apple has been working behind this for several months. Maybe next year or in 2024 it will be rolled out.

[{"selector":"#anim-ca46e612-b8c7-485f-a219-74c351a64874 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-eca1c17b-0cfc-4b35-a2cc-8ffdf3cc34f8","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b8bee2c9-a49b-413c-b6eb-9d7f03c3aa57","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 176.37918%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Image Credit: Google

Apple is currently testing this change with its employees.

The biggest challenge is that Siri can understand all the accents.
