Petition for Siri AI launched in the EU
A petition has been launched in the EU by Italian developer Lorenzo Ferrante, gathering over four thousand signatures, to demand the availability of Siri AI. Apple's upcoming AI features for Siri will not be released in the EU initially due to the Digital Markets Act (DMA). The European Commission requires Apple to grant third-party chatbots similar access to iPhone data as its own services, a demand Apple sought to defer for 18 months. Ferrante is also pursuing a petition directly with the European Parliament, aiming to voice user dissatisfaction with the DMA's impact on AI feature rollout. AI
IMPACT EU users are mobilizing to ensure access to AI features, highlighting the tension between regulation and user demand.
