1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:
processing circuitry configured to control a timing of a voice response upon using a voice AI assistance service in cooperation with content on a basis of an utterance of a viewer,
wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:
upon waiting until the timing of the voice response is reached, cause information indicating a waiting state to be generated;
present a waiting state notification notifying the viewer that the information processing apparatus is in the waiting state based on the generated information; and
upon receiving an instruction to start the voice response from the viewer, cause the voice response in the waiting state to be started;
wherein the waiting state notification is an icon, and
wherein upon receiving the instruction to start the voice response from the viewer, the icon is erased.
