Researchers find that Google's AI has a higher IQ than Siri

When Siri first hit the scene in 2011 -- as the flagship feature on the iPhone 4s, no less -- it was a novel piece of software to say the least. The early version of Siri wasn't terribly powerful, but it was able to answer relatively basic queries and handle rather simple tasks such as setting reminders. In subsequent updates, Siri became much more powerful, even adding contextual awareness along the way. Equally as important, Siri's ability to parse and understand language improved by leaps and bounds as well. Though Siri's capabilities today are far more advanced than the version that shipped six years ago, it's not as if Apple has the market cornered on AI-powered assistants.
