Apple is no longer taking an incremental approach when it comes to artificial intelligence (AI) and has consistently announced ambitious plans for the technology. Not only will AI play a major role in its smartphone experience, but it’s also poised to transform the smart home experience by integrating capabilities across its ecosystem. The tech giant has been working on innovative devices that would seamlessly integrate AI-powered assistance into users’ daily lives, especially in advancing Siri’s offerings.
How Apple’s AI is Turning Siri into the Smart Home’s Central Brain
A Bloomberg report details how Apple is developing a suite of features and products to accelerate its AI ambitions. Some of these include smart home displays, multiple robots, and a redesigned version of Siri. One of the most anticipated devices is a tabletop robot rumored to be released in 2027, which will look like an iPad on a movable arm. This robot is designed to follow users around the room, interact with them, and provide a more lifelike experience akin to a life-like version of Siri.
Additionally, Apple is working on a smart home display expected by mid-2026, which will serve as a hub for controlling smart home systems or devices. Rumors suggest it could feature facial recognition for a personalized user experience. Apple’s roadmap includes a lineup of home security devices that include cameras; AI plays a central role in enhancing features and privacy.
The company aims to turn Siri into the smart home’s central brain through its AI initiatives, moving beyond a voice assistant to an intelligent hub managing interactions and other aspects of the smart home. The redesigned Siri is expected to bring major advancements, including animated visuals, Memoji-style avatars, and drawing inspiration from Finder icons to make interactions feel more natural and conversational. This would bridge the gap between functional utility and human-like interaction, something that Siri has been slow to achieve.
Apple is making AI a core part of its smart home ecosystem, bringing features that offer real-life interactions and living up to users’ expectations for a connected home experience. This evolution will help the tech giant establish itself further and push competitors to rethink how technology can be made smarter and more human.
