Feb 6 (Reuters) - Apple ‌is preparing to allow voice-controlled artificial intelligence ‌apps from other companies in CarPlay, Bloomberg ‌News reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.

The change represents a strategic shift for Apple, which, until ‍now, has only allowed its ‍own Siri assistant as ‌a voice-control option. With this move, users will be ‍able ​to query AI chatbots from other companies through CarPlay's vehicle interface for ⁠the first time, according to the report.
