Apple in Talks with Google to Power Next-Gen Siri with Gemini AI
Apple is officially considering several paths to revitalize Siri, its voice assistant introduced in 2011 but now deemed sluggish compared to its rivals. As reported by Bloomberg, the Cupertino-based firm is in early talks with Google to incorporate Gemini, the generative AI model from the Alphabet subsidiary, into the next Siri, which is set to launch in 2026. The aim would be to create a completely reconfigured Siri, that is more "intelligent" and "conversational.".
