Apple's AI endeavors have encountered a significant hurdle, as a substantial Siri upgrade is not anticipated to be the spotlight of this year's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) and its release has been postponed by several months. Furthermore, while Apple intends to broaden AI functionalities across more applications, including AI-driven battery optimization tools and the virtual health assistant initiative "Project Mulberry," Craig Federighi, Apple's Senior Vice President of Software Engineering, harbors reservations about AI technology. He views it as not a core strength and is concerned about the potential dissipation of resources with limited benefits. These sentiments are echoed by other executives within the company.
