Everything New You Can Do With Siri AI

WIRED — AI · · International · AI Governance

Why this matters: A rebuilt Siri means Apple's assistant will likely do more, touch more of your phone, and handle more personal data. That is worth paying attention to. The more an assistant can act on your behalf, the more access it needs. More access means more to lose if something goes wrong, whether through a bug, a breach, or a feature you did not fully understand you were turning on. Watch what permissions the new Siri asks for and what it can do quietly in the background.
