BETTER SIRI IS COMING: WHAT APPLE'S RESEARCH SAYS ABOUT ITS AI PLANS

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Apple's AI approach focuses on practical uses and improving user experiences rather than just showcasing technological prowess. A group of Apple researchers has been working on a way to use Siri without needing to use a wake word. Instead of listening for “Hey Siri,” the device might be able to intuit whether the user is talking to it. It will also know whether the user is asking a follow-up or new question.
