A recent report by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman sheds light on the AI collaboration between Apple and Google, highlighting a significant forthcoming update to Siri.

  • Apple plans to introduce a new version of its voice assistant, Siri, in the second half of February. This update will leverage Google's Gemini AI models.
  • The enhanced Siri is set to fulfill promises made by Apple in June 2024, including an upgrade in its capacity to complete tasks using user data and on-screen content.
  • An even larger upgrade is expected to be unveiled in June at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference. This update aims to make Siri more conversational, akin to chatbots like ChatGPT, and integrates Google's cloud infrastructure.
  • These changes come in the wake of a challenging period for Apple's AI strategy, during which there was internal skepticism about progress, and the departure of Apple's AI chief, John Giannandrea.
  • The partnership with Google represents a new strategic direction for Apple in the AI domain.
