Early testers report that the assistant handles multi-step requests and screen context better than before, but also exhibits hallucinations and gaps in personal context awareness. The EU will not receive the updated assistant due to regulatory constraints. The release marks a significant milestone in Apple's AI integration strategy.",

Trump used the platform to characterize artificial intelligence dangers as a \"hoax.\" This directly contradicts recent statements from AI company leaders including Dario Amodei (Anthropic), who published an essay calling for slowing AI development due to safety concerns. Huang's willingness to amplify Trump's dismissal of AI risk contrasts with the collaborative safety initiatives announced by other labs.",
