Summary | Apple has a new research group that will be in charge of AI. With Siri, Apple was in fact one of the first companies to introduce chatbots. Nowadays, there are many personal assistants that are far better than Siri (e.g. Alexa and Google Assistant). Unlike Google or Facebook, Apple does not base its research and activities on people's personal information. However, to be efficient in the field of AI, a company needs a lot of personal data. This is why Facebook and Google are at the forefront of these technologies.

Summary | One of Facebook's research labs on artificial intelligence created an algorithm capable of understanding and remembering texts. The algorithm is even better than the "tale's text". The essence of intelligence is the capacity to predict, which is also one of the goals of artificial intelligence. Chatbots don't understand the questions that people ask; they actually react to keywords.
