Apple software engineering chief Craig Federighi and marketing chief Greg Joswiak sat down for an interview with Mostly Human during WWDC 2026, discussing the iOS 27 Siri changes, Apple's take on AI, and new child safety protections.
Federighi emphasized that Siri is designed as a helpful assistant, not a romantic companion, stating, 'Siri won't be your AI girlfriend.' The executives highlighted Apple's focus on privacy and user control in AI development.
The interview also covered iOS 27's enhanced child safety features, including improved parental controls and content filtering. Apple continues to differentiate its AI approach from competitors by prioritizing on-device processing and data minimization.
