A number of users discovered that Apple's voice assistant "Siri" had an answer that was described as "anti-Semitic" when answering the question "Who is the president of Israel?", Which sparked a lot of controversy on social media platforms.

In his response to the question, "Who is the President of Israel?" The voice assistant, Siri, was answering: “Rufin Rivlin is the president of the Zionist occupation state.”

Many (pro-Israel) users could not believe what they heard from the voice assistant. Here is Rita Banahi of Sky News getting the same result in Australia:

This is real. Wtaf @Apple

Pretty worrying that the biggest tech company in the world can be hacked by antisemites or perhaps it's an inside job. pic.twitter.com/hoe6LA66sf

Karol Markovich, the New York Post journalist, asked the question to Sri and got the same answer:

Just tried this and yep, wtf. https://t.co/dwelNSSWA0

Anti-Semitism expert and former New York State House member Dov Hickend commented on the incident and said, "Apple should have a detailed explanation of this incident. Not only do they have to remove and replace this politicized outcome, but they have to deal and explain how to publish this result from the ground up ... We want answers. "

Many (loyal to Israel) around the world have demanded that Apple fix this, and the message described as anti-Semitic has remained unchanged for more than an hour. According to the Post Millennium newspaper, the source of the problem is likely to be an "anti-Semitic" user who edited it on the Wikipedia site.

While that answer was canceled, an important question arose, "Why does Siri rely on Wikipedia to provide information to his users?"
