Recently, Apple unveiled plans to integrate Google's Gemini large - scale model into its upcoming personalized Siri and Apple Intelligence strategy. This announcement has sparked concerns among certain users, who worry about issues like Google AI infiltrating their devices, Siri being overtaken by Gemini, and a massive influx of user data heading to Google. However, these fears are unfounded.

Apple and Google have entered into a cooperation pact regarding model licensing and training. In reality, the software that will actually operate on the iPhone and interact with users remains Apple's proprietary Apple Foundation Models, not the Gemini model itself. Through this collaboration, Apple intends to harness Gemini's robust capabilities, using it as a kind of "mentor" to support the training and enhancement of its self - developed foundational models in the background. This, in turn, will elevate the intelligence level of Siri.

At the same time, Apple stresses that all user interactions are processed locally, either on Apple - controlled servers or devices. Under this agreement, Google will not gain access to any privacy information of iPhone users.
