Amazon and Apple are struggling to put generative AI technology in their digital assistants (Alexa and Siri) respectively, according to a pair of reports released Friday.
Amazon was hoping to release a new Alexa during its February 26th event in New York. Currently, Amazon is planning to delay the release of its AI-equipped Alexa from March onwards. According to the Washington Post.
meanwhile, Bloomberg reports Apple’s Siri AI overhaul has encountered engineering issues and software bugs. Some new features around Siri, scheduled to be released in April, may not be ready until May.
Amazon and Apple were hoping to release these updated products quickly and compete with the next generation of AI voice assistants, such as Openai’s Advanced Voice Mode and Google’s Gemini Live. However, these efforts have not progressed according to the plan.
