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 | Google presented their new technology and their main focus is artificial intelligence. Google's Assistant is now proactively listening and making suggestion (for instance to leave the house early because of traffic) without users having to activate it by saying "OK Google". It will also be available accross devices. Google are attempting to replace Siri on Apple devices. Google's Assistant is much better developed in being able to understand colloquial commands. They are also working on connecting their Assistant with the camera, so that one could hold up the phone to a restaurant and get reviews about that restaurant pulled up. This has huge potential for making the lives of visually impaired people easier.
