Apple Hiring Engineers To Teach Siri About Sports

Apple’s voice assistant software Siri is good enough to get certain tasks done, but obviously it could always be improved upon. Now if you’re a big sports fanatic and thinks that Siri might need some improvement in the sports area, you’re in luck because that’s exactly what Apple is hiring engineers to do.

According to job listings spotted by VentureBeat, it has revealed that Apple is looking to hire software engineers to help boost Siri’s sports capabilities. The listing reads, “We’re looking for the right person who can collaborate with other engineers in several technical areas to help build Siri’s knowledge of all things sports related. You should be able to thrive in a fast-paced environment with rapidly changing priorities, have a thirst for new technology and believe that managing your Fantasy Football team is as important as managing your 401(k).”

That being said, we’re not sure what the end result could be like. Maybe Apple is hoping to create something that could rival Microsoft’s Cortana when it comes to analyzing sports and offering predictions. The listing also calls for someone who has an “encyclopedic knowledge of sports — and wish that Siri did as well.” Either way like we said, if you’re a big fan of all kinds of sports, perhaps this is something to look forward to.
