"When it comes to improving Apple Intelligence and keeping the promise of contextual intelligence next year, Apple is testing its own internally developed artificial intelligence chatbot, code-named Veritas, the Latin word for "truth." Perhaps that code name is also an ambition. If so, it is a welcome target, given the studies that show the percentage of AI chatbot answers that are hallucinations (the current buzzword for "wrong") is as high as 10% to 70%, depending on the model and benchmark used."
"As a thought experiment, let's imagine that Apple finally manages to create a system that delivers wrong answers at 10% or less. Imagine, in other words, that Siri is always able to provide accurate answers. Would that change your daily interactions with the tech? I guess it would give the company the chance to use marketing expressions like: "Siri: The truth will set you free." "Siri: Truth conquers all." Or even "Siri prevails.""
"What else do we know? says Veritas is being used to experiment with new Siri features. It presents itself similarly to other existing tools, so that means typed queries, conversations, and the chance to revisit previous conversations. The decision not to introduce it to the public may seem a little counterintuitive, given the race to AI that is taking place, but the company is making use of it to finesse upcoming Siri actions and upgrades."
Apple is testing an internal AI chatbot code-named Veritas, derived from the Latin word for "truth," to improve Apple Intelligence and Siri. Veritas is being used to experiment with new Siri features, supporting typed queries, conversational interactions, and the ability to revisit prior conversations. Studies show AI chatbot hallucination rates range from about 10% to 70%, and reducing that rate is a stated ambition tied to credibility and potential marketing. Apple is keeping Veritas confined to internal testing while using it to refine upcoming Siri actions and upgrades rather than releasing it publicly immediately.
