Apple launches AI-powered Siri; AI leaders call for development slowdown

Apple has begun rolling out iOS 27, featuring a significantly upgraded Siri with on-screen awareness and a language model developed with Google's Gemini. This advanced Siri experience is exclusive to iPhone 15 Pro models and newer.
