Fox News Flash top headlines for Sept. 6 are here. Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com An Apple project to rewrite how the Siri voice assistant handles sensitive topics like feminism and the #MeToo movement told developers to either not engage, deflect or inform. According to leaked documents obtained by The Guardian, the project saw Siri's responses rewritten to never explicitly say the word "feminism" -- although it was OK for the AI-powered assistant to say it was in favor of equality. Apple's guidelines explain that "Siri should be guarded when dealing with potentially controversial content," and that when questions are directed at the voice assistant, they can be "deflected. However, care must be taken here to be neutral."
