Apple Developing ChatGPT-Style Siri Chatbot for iOS 27, Codenamed "Campos"
Apple is reportedly developing a major Siri overhaul that will transform it into an AI chatbot similar to ChatGPT, with the feature codenamed "Campos" potentially debuting at WWDC in June for iOS 27. The chatbot will support both voice and text inputs, representing a strategic shift for Apple as it partners with Google's Gemini technology after lagging in the AI race. This move comes as Apple faces competitive pressure from AI chatbot success and OpenAI's entry into hardware development led by former Apple designer Jony Ive.
Skynet Chance (+0.01%): The integration of advanced chatbot capabilities into billions of iOS devices increases AI system deployment and normalization, though Apple's historically cautious approach to safety and privacy may mitigate some risks. The broad consumer deployment represents incremental increase in AI integration into daily life.
Skynet Date (+0 days): Apple's entry accelerates mainstream AI adoption and competition, potentially pressuring faster deployment cycles across the industry. However, Apple's deliberate development pace and safety focus may slightly counterbalance acceleration effects.
AGI Progress (+0.01%): Apple's adoption of chatbot technology and partnership with Google Gemini demonstrates continued convergence toward advanced conversational AI capabilities across major tech platforms. This represents incremental progress in making sophisticated language models ubiquitous and multimodal (voice and text).
AGI Date (+0 days): The competitive pressure driving Apple to accelerate AI integration, combined with increased investment and talent focus from a major tech company, modestly accelerates the overall pace of AI development. Apple's massive resources and ecosystem now being directed toward advanced AI capabilities will likely speed industry-wide progress.
