Apple's New AI System, Apple Intelligence: Siri Gains Advanced Capabilities and Raises Privacy Concerns

Apple is set to roll out its new AI system, Apple Intelligence, in the spring of 2025. According to reports by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman in his Power On newsletter, Siri will be one of the first applications to benefit from this new technology. With Apple Intelligence, Siri will gain the ability to perform tasks on your behalf using information from your iPhone's photo library and other sources. For instance, it can extract your ID from a photo and copy your driver's license number for online forms.

The update is expected to come with iOS 18.4, which will also bring other features such as ChatGPT integration, a new Siri interface, and deeper product knowledge that lets Siri give you basic tech support. However, not all of the promised features may be available at once.

Apple Intelligence is part of the company's broader AI plan that includes AirPods with embedded cameras for hand gesture and motion detection, Vision Pro headsets, and an AI-powered table-top robot. The new Siri experience is expected to make your interactions with your iPhone more convenient and efficient.

It's important to note that while Apple Intelligence promises exciting new features, it also raises concerns about privacy. As always, it's crucial to be aware of the potential risks and take appropriate measures to protect your personal information.

  • Deception (30%)
    The article makes several statements about features that will not be available at the launch of Apple Intelligence and iOS 18. These statements are examples of selective reporting as they only report details that support the author's position, while omitting information about features that will be available at launch. The author also uses emotional manipulation by implying that readers who are eagerly looking forward to Apple Intelligence will be disappointed when it launches this fall.
    • Apple Mail will get some useful upgrades with Apple Intelligence, but according to Apple they won’t be available in iOS 18. Instead we’ll have to wait until iOS 18.1 or iOS 18.2 – which should arrive later this year.
    • Apple Intelligence is coming later this year, as part of iOS 18, and marks Apple’s first major attempt at offering AI features on the iPhone. But not everything Apple announced at WWDC 2024 will be available right away.
    • Siri has been in desperate need of an upgrade for a long time, but Apple Intelligence was the perfect opportunity to give Siri a much needed upgrade, and it means some incredible new features are on the way. Just don’t expect the best ones to launch with Apple Intelligence later this year.
    • Apple did confirm at WWDC that support for more chatbots would be happening – with rumors pointing to Google Gemini and Anthropic support being announced sometime in the fall. Since Apple hasn’t said anything official as of yet, there’s no guarantee that this will happen close to launch – especially if ChatGPT is delayed.
  • Fallacies (85%)
    The author makes several statements about features that will not be available at the launch of Apple Intelligence, which is a form of an incomplete argument or anticipatory fallacy. The author also uses vague language about when certain features may become available and quotes Mark Gurman making predictions, which are not fallacies but do contribute to the uncertainty surrounding the availability of these features.

  • Bias (95%)
    The author mentions that some features of Apple Intelligence will not be available at launch and provides examples such as Siri upgrades, ChatGPT support, Mail upgrades, and Swift Assist. The author also mentions that these features may not be available until next year or later in 2024. This can be considered a disproportionate number of quotations reflecting a specific position (the delay of certain features) and an example of monetary bias as the author implies that users will have to upgrade their devices to access these features.
