Apple Inc. is plotting its artificial intelligence comeback with an ambitious slate of new devices, including robots, a lifelike version of Siri, a smart speaker with a display and home-security cameras.
A tabletop robot that serves as a virtual companion, targeted for 2027, is the centerpiece of the AI strategy, according to people with knowledge of the matter. The smart speaker with a display, meanwhile, is slated to arrive next year, part of a push into entry-level smart-home products.
Mark Gurman, Managing Editor for Global Consumer Tech for Bloomberg News, explains why home security is seen as another big growth opportunity for the tech giant. Mark speaks with Tim Stenovec and Carol Massar on Bloomberg Businessweek Daily.
