Smart move by Apple. I'll be following their moves to improve Siri closely. The fact that they're hiring researchers as strong as Ruslan makes me feel that they've got real potential to drastically improve Siri going forward.
I think that Siri has the potential to improve non-linearly. If they can get Siri to be slightly more useful, the millions of iPhone owners will instantly use it more, creating a virtuous feedback loop.
- IBM 10y agoIt's not clear if the acquisitions they've made in the past have been integrated into any of their products yet. It's certainly within the realm of possibility to wake up one day and use a new and better Siri. http://www.businessinsider.com/apple-vocaliq-siri-2016-9 http://www.businessinsider.com/apple-vocaliq-siri-2016-9
- fnbr 10y agoDo you have any idea why that is? Are they all acquihires?
- IBM 10y agoI would say almost all of Apple's acquisitions are acquihires and for intellectual property but I don't see how that has any relation to how long it takes to integrate the people/tech into existing products. My guess is as good as the quotes in the article.
