Apple’s new iPhone 17 devices don’t have an AI-powered Siri yet. It doesn’t matter.

Apple's latest iPhone lineup includes the iPhone 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max, and a slimmer version called the iPhone Air. However, Apple has lagged in AI technology, only referencing AI technology a few times at its iPhone 17 event. The most compelling use of AI was the AI-powered Live Translation feature coming to Apple's AirPods 3. Apple's miscalculation on AI could negatively affect its industry standing and future success. Google recently rolled out its latest AI-powered Android phone with its Pixel 10, while iPhone owners still await an AI Siri, which has been delayed until 2026. Apple has only released baseline AI features for its devices, such as AI writing tools, summarization, generative AI images, live translation, visual search, and Genmoji.

Apple is looking to third parties to help catch up in the AI race, with an AI-enhanced Siri running some other technology like Google Gemini. This delay and the decision to rely on a third party or a sizable acquisition may spell bad news for Apple. However, Apple's decision to outsource some of the phone's AI technology could become a selling point for consumers, as high-performing AI technology would be integrated into the device more natively, making it feel more seamless and part of the iPhone experience itself. This would result in the best of both worlds: the aesthetics and hardware quality of the iPhone, with Google's technology powering some key AI components, and potentially benefiting Apple's overall brand.

Grammarly can now fix your Spanish and French grammar

Grammarly, a grammar editing software, is expanding its services to five more languages: Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, and Italian. The move is in response to a customer request for a feature that catches spelling mistakes, reworks sentences and paragraphs to match native speech tone, and improves clarity. Grammarly also translates the six core languages into 19 languages without leaving the tool. The competition for AI-based software for languages other than English is increasing, with Google Search's AI Mode expanding the number of languages and Apple's AirPods introducing a live language translation feature. Grammarly uses third-party Language Learning Machines for advanced features.

Judge puts Anthropic’s $1.5 billion book piracy settlement on hold

Anthropic's $1.5 billion book piracy settlement has been put on hold due to concerns raised by federal judge William Alsup about the terms of the agreement. Alsup rejected the settlement, citing concerns that class action lawyers would create a deal behind closed doors that would force "down the throats of authors." Anthropic agreed to pay the settlement last week, putting to rest a class action lawsuit from US authors that accused the AI company of training its models on hundreds of thousands of copyrighted books. Alsup allowed the class action lawsuit to move forward after ruling that Anthropic training its AI models on purchased books counts as fair use, but could be liable for training on illegally downloaded work.

Under the settlement, authors and publishers would receive about $3,000 for covered works. An attorney for the authors said there are around 465,000 books covered by the settlement, but Judge Alsup asked for a solid number to ensure Anthropic doesn't get hit with other lawsuits. Class members will need to be given "very good notice" to ensure they're aware of the case. Maria Pallante, CEO of the Association of American Publishers, said that Alsup demonstrated a lack of understanding of how the publishing industry works.
