Media: Apple is discussing with Google the local integration of the Gemini chatbot in iOS 18
Gemini will likely launch with the release of the iOS 18 update this year. Apple plans to add many new AI-related features that will run on the device rather than in the cloud. She is already looking for a partner who can integrate into the iPhone functions for creating images based on text descriptions and writing texts using simple prompts.
If Apple and Google enter into an agreement, Gemini will gain a significant advantage over its competitors. In January, Samsung already introduced new smartphones with artificial intelligence functions based on Gemini.
But the parties have not yet decided on the terms of the contract, the brand and how AI will be integrated into the iPhone. The deal between Apple and Google will likely be based on the two companies' search partnership. For years, Google paid Apple billions of dollars to make its search engine the default option in the Safari web browser on iPhones and other devices.
The talks suggest that Apple is not very far along in its efforts to create its own artificial intelligence. Since early last year, the company has been testing its own generative AI, codenamed Ajax. Some employees work with a chatbot called Apple GPT.
There are also concerns that the new agreement between Apple and Google will attract the attention of regulators in the US and the European Union.
In 2023, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that he personally uses ChatGPT, but noted that there are "a number of issues that need to be addressed." The top manager promised that new artificial intelligence features will appear on Apple platforms “in a very thoughtful manner.”
In recent years, the term “Internet of Things” (IoT) has become one of the most popular in the tech world. It promised to connect billions of devices. The next stage was the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), which brought revolutionary changes to production processes. Today, a new term is coming onto the scene – AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things), combining the capabilities of the Internet of Things with the power of AI.
Sixty-eight IT executives from 15 countries, including Brazil, India, USA, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Kazakhstan, and Indonesia participated in the project.
