Apple has a chance to finally fix Siri

Siri may be the first mainstream digital assistant, but it's still the butt of many jokes now that it's been bested by just about all of Apple's biggest competitors. Siri's intelligence and responsiveness often lags behind Amazon's Alexa or Google Now. And the competition shows no sign of giving up its lead. Google made a bunch of splashy AI-related announcements at its I/O conference last month. And Amazon's CEO Jeff Bezos said at the Recode conference this week that there are more than 1,000 employees working on Alexa and the Echo speaker.
