Is Apple falling behind in the AI race?

For years, Apple has been renowned for its hardware and privacy, but its AI Strategy, particularly with Siri, has faced criticism for lagging behind.

In this episode I look at the strategic rationale behind this unexpected alliance, exploring why Apple is leaning on Google’s advanced AI capabilities and what it means for the future of AI on your iPhone.

I look at the inherent risks, including potential perceptions of weakness, privacy concerns with Google’s model and the long-term dependency this could create. Is this a temporary bridge to Apple’s own AI independence, or the start of a more intertwined future?

Tune in to gain insights into this potential paradigm shift for Apple and its position in the AI tech race.
