Here's your afternoon TNB Tech minute for Monday, June 8th. I'm Anthony Bansi for the Wall Street Journal. Apple has unveiled its new version of its Siri chatbot today during its Worldwide Developers Conference keynote address, hoping to power a comeback in AI. The latest version is more conversational, has new voices and can answer questions using user data. During the keynote, Apple displayed some interactions with Siri that were familiar to users of generative AI applications, but also more personalized ones, like sifting through text messages to find the address of a friend or sorting through photos with voice commands. Apple said most of its new AI features will be free to all users, but certain capabilities may be limited to advanced devices or subscription holders. The company said it would release beta versions of the software today to developers, followed by public beta in July and ahead of a full release in the fall. Amazon has entered a multi billion dollar agreement with Corning. The glassmaker will be providing optical fiber, cable and connectivity solutions to support its growing data center footprint.
