According to information published by the American communication company Bloomberg, Apple has been working to bring simplification when activating the Siri virtual assistant, which will now lose the well-known expression “Hey, Siri”.
There is still no exact date for the new update to take effect, but Apple's projections are for the years 2023 or 2024. At first it may seem like a simple change, however, it will be necessary to train the company's artificial intelligence and engineering channels.
After all, when choosing an activation phrase for the virtual assistant, the shorter it is, the more difficult it becomes for the artificial intelligence to decode it.
This happens because virtual assistants, especially Siri, live with many different languages, accents and dialects. In this way, it must be able to recognize the command, when it is triggered, in any of these cases.
To reach this result, Apple trains Siri activation tests with the company's own employees. Thus, it is possible to identify which are the essential adjustments and data for changing Siri's activation.
Apple wants to make Siri simpler, so that it can interact with other apps more easily and be able to understand its users' requests more clearly and quickly.
Now, Apple is bringing about that change, just as Amazon and Microsoft did with their virtual assistants. The famous Alexa, for example, is activated with just your name. So, soon, it will be enough to call Siri to call your virtual assistant.
