Avoiding hype and broad pronouncements has played a big part in reestablishing the creditability of a company that historically struggled to lock down a spot in the front row of the technology industry. Now, as her relentless refrain about making “great products” pays off, she seems ready to embrace the evangelism of some of her counterparts. And that means participating in the artificial intelligence frenzy.
