Apple Inc. is in early discussions about using Google Gemini to power a revamped version of the Siri voice assistant, marking a key potential step toward outsourcing more of its artificial intelligence technology.

Apple is weighing Google’s Gemini AI for a new Siri, as leadership exits and delays push the company to consider outside help.

The company previously approached OpenAI and Anthropic for similar discussions about using their technology to power Siri, and reportedly, Google has begun training a model that could run on Apple’s servers. Apple is not expected to make a decision about whether to bring on a partner for the Siri revamp for another several weeks.
