Artificial intelligence will be a very important feature of what smartphones can do in
the near future. In terms of artificial intelligence, Android has a clear lead.
The most popular artificial intelligence/intelligent assistant system on Android in
Google Now. It is extremely powerful. It uses everything Google knows about you and
the world to make life easier for you. For instance, if your Google Calendar knows that
your parents are picking you up from school at 3:30 and that traffic is terrible, Google
Now can send your parents a notification telling them to leave early.
Siri is Apple's answer to Google Now for artificial intelligence. It's improving all the
time with each new iOS release, but it's still limited to fairly simple tasks when
compared to Google Now.
