MAIN AI UPDATES / 22nd January 2026

 🍎 Apple developing AI wearable for 2027 🍎
Apple's most ambitious AI push targets a Siri capable of rivaling ChatGPT.

Apple is developing a transformative upgrade for Siri, codenamed 'Campos,' designed to function as a full AI chatbot rivaling ChatGPT. Expected with iOS 27, the new Siri will support both voice and text input, becoming the central AI interface across all Apple devices. Simultaneously, Apple is developing a dedicated AI wearable roughly the size of an AirTag, featuring cameras, microphones, and speakers, with a potential 2027 release. This integration matters because it positions Apple's entire device ecosystem around a single AI assistant under development. The system will initially leverage Google's Gemini models, providing strategic flexibility while Apple matures its own capabilities.

🤖 Meta's AI lab delivers first internal models 🤖
Meta's new AI team shows first tangible results from massive infrastructure investments.

Meta's newly formed artificial intelligence lab has delivered its first high-profile models internally, marking a significant milestone for the company's AI ambitions. CTO Andrew Bosworth confirmed the models show considerable promise, though substantial post-training work remains before consumer deployment. This signals Meta is beginning to see returns on its massive 2025 AI investments, a critical validation as competitive pressure from OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic intensifies. The next two years will be critical as Meta races to bring competitive consumer AI products to market.

📜 Anthropic publicly releases Claude's Constitution 📜
Anthropic sets new industry standard for AI governance transparency.

Anthropic has publicly released 'Claude's Constitution,' the foundational document dictating how its AI assistant behaves and makes decisions. The constitution establishes a clear hierarchy: safety first, followed by ethics, rule compliance, and helpfulness. Rather than rigid rules, it explains reasoning behind each principle so Claude can apply values contextually in novel situations. Notably, Anthropic emphasizes Claude's psychological well-being and instructs it to refuse unethical requests—even from Anthropic itself. This unprecedented transparency move matters for the broader industry as it establishes a benchmark for AI governance documentation and accountability.
