Fortune Tech: Apple reboots its home products with Siri AI
Apple has launched a new smart home display called HomeView and updated its HomePod and Apple TV hardware. These devices are designed to serve as primary hubs for the company's upgraded Siri AI, marking a strategic push to compete in the smart home market.
Why it matters
This move represents Apple's attempt to regain ground in the AI race by integrating its proprietary assistant into the home ecosystem.
Good morning. Can a company that helped shatter the status quo a generation ago do it all over again?
That’s the question dogging Workday, the HR cloud software company, which recently brought back co-founder Aneel Bhusri as CEO in an attempt to “re-found” itself in an age of AI.
I recently spent time with Bhusri and some of his lieutenants—including product and tech boss Gerrit Kazmaier and chief AI officer Joel Hellermark—to understand what makes Workday tick now that it’s a full-blown Fortune 500 firm trying to be a startup again.
I also sought to answer the questions: Is the SaaSpocalypse overblown? Can you teach an old dog a new trick? And most importantly: Can any established CEO survive AI-led disruption?
