Apple to Replace Siri with Generative AI Chatbot — Developer Access Will Decide Travel Impact

Apple plans to replace Siri with a generative AI chatbot across iPhones, iPads and Macs later this year, Bloomberg reports. Developer access will determine how travel apps and airlines can integrate the assistant into bookings and itineraries, and whether it changes the role of third‑party travel services.

Digital transformation: keystone of deterring warfare in space Modernizing space systems' digital architecture—including resilient networks, secure ground-to-space links, and faster data fusion—is essential to deter and withstand hostile activity in orbit. Defense planners argue rapid adoption of cyber-hardened, automated and interoperable systems raises costs for adversaries and reduces single-point failures.
