Apple's digital assistant Siri will integrate OpenAI into Siri, allowing users to ask for help with things like recipe ideas, room decorations, or composing a story.

The announcement comes as AI has experienced explosive growth and some embarrassing setbacks, such as hallucinations, plagiarism, and incorrect or biased results.

Apple is also at the center of an antitrust lawsuit filed by the Justice Department and 15 states, accusing Apple of abusing its power as a monopoly to push out rivals and keep customers using its products.

Apple is also rolling out Apple Intelligence, its own term for Apple's own new generative AI software.

The software will enable transcription for phone calls, AI photo retouching, and improvements in the natural conversation flow with Siri.

It can also be used to summarize notifications, text messages, articles, documents, and open web pages.

Apple also emphasizes privacy with a new system called Private Cloud Compute, ensuring data security for users.

The new features are expected to be released later this year.
