Apple's New AI System Will Reportedly 'Wipe the Floor' With All Competitors

According to a new report from Business Insider, Apple is working on a new artificial intelligence system that will "wipe the floor" with all of its competitors. The major improvement to Siri is said to come from the company's acquisition of VocalIQ, a UK-based start-up that created artificial-intelligence software that helps computers and people speak to each other in a more natural dialogue. Before getting acquired, VocalIQ tested their technology against Siri, Google Now, and Cortana. With a question like "Find a nearby Chinese restaurant with open parking and WiFi that's kid-friendly" VocalIQ had a success rate over 90%. Google Now, Siri, and Cortana were only successful about 20% of the time.
