Google’s Gemini AI could soon be built into iPhones, says CEO Sundar Pichai

Google Chief Executive Sundar Pichai has voiced confidence that Gemini, the company’s flagship artificial intelligence platform, could soon be offered as a built-in option on Apple’s iPhones. Speaking on Wednesday during his testimony in the US government’s antitrust trial against Google, Pichai said he was hopeful an agreement with Apple could be reached by the middle of the year.

The trial, brought by the US Department of Justice, centres on allegations that Google’s business practices—particularly its multibillion-dollar deal to be the default search engine on Apple’s Safari browser—have unfairly cemented its dominance in the search market.
