Siri AI Delayed in EU: Regulatory Hurdles Block Launch

Apple's new Siri AI will be significantly delayed for users in the European Union and China. The company announced Siri AI in beta is available to developers now and coming to end users this fall, but not in these regions. Apple states the delay is due to regulatory hurdles, specifically the Digital Markets Act in the EU. They claim EU regulators did not accept their proposed solutions to safely integrate Siri AI while supporting other virtual assistants. This means there is currently no timeline for Siri AI's availability in the EU. This impacts millions of Apple users waiting for the new AI features.
