Nuance was in Apple's Siri.
Yes, and Nuance software was licensed and embedded in many other phones and software packages. The company, Nuance Communications, was bought by Microsoft in 2022 for almost $20B, after some parts were spun off.
Nuance exposed patient data... 50,000 or so.
About 45,000 in 2018, it was due to a 3rd-party cloud data storage cyber breach. Nuance reported it to FBI contacted all patients, only 900 were possibly affected : "The DoJ found that the information was not used or sold for any purpose and that all the data had been recovered."

It could, as it AI can correct the "text processed" in the S2T, using a the model.
Using "AI" model to "correct the text processed" is horribly expensive overkill, as it's been successfully done by software well known as a "spell-checker" for decades.
.
AI methods are doing "signal processing" for instance the back tap in iOS and Android, could/would be done via old fashioned signal processing, today its done by modeling the data and other metadata about the context.
Again, very expensive processing overkill unless you absolutely, positively need extremely fast processing of huge amount of precise RT data... and the reason why it's being replaced by much faster much cheaper algorithmic discrete components.
.
So its a little more than a buzzword.
Real-world AI applications exist, obviously. What most companies advertise and most people started to refer to as "AI" today is just a buzzword for what people previously called "computers" / "technology" / "software" / "algorithm" etc. depending on their level of sophistication and the target audience they addressed.
