Apple has hired a Carnegie Mellon University professor to head up a team working on artificial intelligence as tech giants increasingly place big bets on machine learning as a key part of their future.
Apple seems to be all-in with AI, which is a good sign for the future.
And I thought they were all in with Siri & Maps & Apple Music. But I guess there’s always Google.
They are all in with Siri. Siri is threaded through a lot of apps in ways most people don’t even realize. I like their ideas and I hope it works out. There is room for research on different ways of handling AI. Here’s some info on it:

i don’t have any problems with maps or music. siri of course could always use better contextual awareness, but so can the others. it’s hard.
some day the AI will not be, ‘the dumbs’. Until then, can Apple build a computer, already?
