Apple is currently addressing an issue with its speech-to-text tool, Dictation, after users reported that speaking the word "racist" sometimes resulted in it being transcribed as "Trump." Experts have raised concerns about the plausibility of Apple's explanation for this error, suggesting the potential involvement of someone altering the software. Apple is also facing scrutiny over its AI features and is making significant investments in the US, including a $500 billion commitment to expand its operations and data centers.
