New research makes Siri and Alexa seem like lightweights next to accuracy champion Google Assistant

Google, Amazon, and Apple’s AI-powered virtual assistants can be incredibly useful tools around the house or on the move for controlling music playback, helping deliver dinner, improving road safety, keeping you informed, and many other things that make all our digital lives easier. But when it comes to saving actual human lives, it looks like the three aforementioned tech giants still have some work to do.
Said research awarded Apple’s AI an overall accuracy score of 58.5 percent for medication brand-names, as well as 51.2 percent in terms of correctly identifying generic names of drugs. While that essentially means Siri was right most of the time, the two numbers are hardly impressive for a nearly 8 year-old piece of software that should be able to quickly scan the web for answers to all your questions.
