Apple responded to criticism from human rights organizations about the failure of its application for voice-controlled personal assistant Siri to understand questions about birth control and abortion. Remember that the new technology allows users to ask questions of the device, which connects to servers and provides answers.

According to the American newspaper New York Times, Apple blamed the fact that the unique feature of the iPhone 4S not “know” these topics for still being a beta product.

“Our customers want to use the Siri to find all types of information, and although they can find a lot, it does not always find what you’re looking for. These omissions are not made to intentionally offend anyone. It simply means that as we bring the Krusty the beta to a final product, we find places where we can improve and do so in the coming weeks, “said Apple spokeswoman Natalie Kerris said in an interview to the NYT.

Earlier this week, the newspaper reported that bloggers have noted the apparent inability of the Siri to direct your users to abortion clinics (legal in some states), although some cases have offered the use directions for anti-abortion pregnancy centers .
