Google, Apple in Talks to Integrate Gemini AI into iPhones by 2024
1min read Google is reportedly seeking to collaborate with apple to integrate its Gemini AI technology into the next generation of iPhones, with the aim of finalizing the agreement by mid-2024. This revelation came from google CEO Sundar Pichai during an antitrust trial. The potential partnership could position Gemini as the default AI service provider for Apple devices, similar to how Google is the default search engine for Safari. This move would significantly expand Gemini's user base and directly challenge the competitive advantages of OpenAI and microsoft.
Pichai's testimony occurred during the ongoing antitrust lawsuit filed by the U.S. Department of Justice against Google. Regulatory authorities may scrutinize whether this collaboration constitutes an exclusive agreement that further solidifies Google's dominance in the AI ecosystem. Apple, which has lagged behind in the generative AI sector, may rely on external technologies to enhance its offerings. Google's annual payment of 180-200 billion dollars to Apple to maintain its default search engine status suggests that a similar substantial transaction could be involved in this AI collaboration.
