And it is also hiring more aggressively from experts that are currently working at other companies like Google, Amazon and Facebook, according to Reuters.<\/p>\n<p>But Apple\u2019s attempts to launch a fully artificially intelligent digital assistant might be frustrated by its commitment not to store or use its customers\u2019 personal data.
