Tech Bytes: Siri planned to get major AI upgrade

Apple tests AI-powered upgrade for Siri in order to compete with ChatGPT and Google's AI. New privacy and fraud regulations arrive for digital payment apps like CashApp, PayPal, and Apple Pay. Microsoft announces Edge Game Assist, an in-game browser window that can be used to find tips and tricks.

Siri is getting a revamp. Apple is testing an AI-powered upgrade to make its assistant more conversational and intuitive. The goal is to make Siri more natural and competitive with ChatGPT and Google’s AI. A full rollout is expected by 2026.

New regulations are on the way for digital payment apps, including Apple Pay, PayPal, and Cash App. The new government rule will require apps handling over $50 million in transactions a year to follow stricter privacy and fraud protection laws, similar to banks. Federal officials say the rule will help to protect consumer safety.

A new tool for gamers may be on the way. Microsoft is testing Edge Game Assist, an in-game browser that finds tips and guides without pausing the action. It’s promising support for more titles over time.
