Make sure the iPhone language is set to english, Siri language is set to english, and Apple Account region is set to somewhere Siri Ai is available, then go to Settings ➜ Siri and sign her up for the Siri Ai waitlist by tapping on the "Try Siri Ai (Beta)" link there. You'll then have to wait a day or 2 for the account to be accepted into the Beta.

To which region/country is the Apple Account registered to?

Apple Intelligence is not available in every country and you will have to have a special setup:


...

Apple Intelligence is available with Siri and device language set to Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, or Vietnamese. Some features may not be available in all regions or languages. Some devices may not be available in all regions. Siri AI is available in beta in iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, watchOS 27, and visionOS 27 and requires an Apple Intelligence–enabled device set to a supported language. Available in English to start. Siri AI will not be initially available in the EU on iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS. Certain Apple Intelligence features that rely on server-side models are subject to daily usage limits, including but not limited to Siri AI, Intelligent Photo Editing Tools, Image Playground, and AFM 3 Cloud models in Shortcuts. Daily limits may vary by feature, request complexity, system demand, system policies, and other factors. Expanded access to such features will be available for a fee in the future. Use of these features is subject to the Apple Intelligence Terms and Conditions. Learn more at support.apple.com/148587.
