Kiljoy! No more ‘Hey Siri’! Apple set to make massive change

[ad_1] The phrase 'Hey Siri' has become an iconic feature introduced by Apple in 2014 to activate Siri, the virtual assistant. Over the years, it has gained popularity due to its references in popular culture.

AI will supercharge productivity. Will workers benefit?

[ad_1] Productivity growth, or the ability to produce more per hour, is supposed to make everyone richer. The idea is that greater productivity allows companies to make more money, which workers and owners share through higher wages and more valuable businesses.
