5,000 pounds of metal collapsed on him while fixing his car, leaving eighteen year old Sam Ray almost helpless. While fixing his car, a jack fell loose, causing Ray to be crushed by the heavyweight metal. It could’ve been the end, but he heard a voice. No, not a human voice. A voice that turned out to be Siri, a built in “assistant”, for iphones. Hearing her activate, Ray ordered her to call 911. Miraculously, she did, and she saved his life.

Getting deeper into the AI lifesaver,  some students of McKinley High school  shared their feelings about Siri. They all had iphones and were not told she had saved a man’s life. Students Harry Penh, ( Junior) Suejin Yi, and Adrian Aguinaldo ( freshmen) explained what they thought about Siri.

“Siri is sort of useful when you’re bored. You can play games with her and make really bad jokes,” Penh said.

“Siri is not useful, she just makes us lazier, because you are asking a recorded voice to do things when you can do them yourself and she doesn’t even hear what you’re saying,” Yi said.

The students then were told that Siri had saved a teenagers life. This changed their view on Siri. It opened up ideas of creating new emergency apps, updating Siri, benefits for apple store and much more.

“This benefits apple stores because people will say Siri is smarter and they will actually take her as a more important feature on an iphone. Siri could have misheard by a strong chance, the teenager could have not even heard her operate because of the panic,”  Penh said.

“He is very lucky and it’s like a miracle. I didn’t even know Siri could do that,” Aguinaldo said.

Inventors being aware of the story can now create new technology and apps for emergency situations.
