TECH: Apple is set to introduce ChatGPT as part of the iOS ecosystem with the next update, following an announcement at the Worldwide Developers Conference in May. The integration will bring OpenAI's popular ChatGPT AI bot into the heart of Apple Intelligence, leveraging Siri to deliver an experience similar to what Google has been offering Pixel users for over a year. However, Apple may soon face competition from its rival Samsung.
The Information has reported that Samsung is talking to Microsoft-backed OpenAI to launch a partnership, as part of which ChatGPT will be integrated into Galaxy AI services. Although details are scant, the report says that ChatGPT could play a catalytic role in the adoption of Galaxy AI services, putting Samsung in a better position to take on Apple after the introduction of ChatGPT services in Apple Intelligence.
Samsung can provide more services to Galaxy AI users by leveraging ChatGPT and large language models (LLM) as the current version of Samsung's AI capabilities utilizes the combined resources of the company's own LLM and Google Gemini AI. ChatGPT integration into Galaxy AI could allow users to find answers to complex questions, something the existing version of the former struggles to handle. Although Google offers its own services through Gemini Galaxy AI, they are not as comprehensive as those available in Gemini's standalone app on Android.
Moreover, ChatGPT is more popular than Gemini. According to Statista, ChatGPT's mobile app recorded over 4.2 million downloads from both Apple's App Store and Google Play Store in September 2024. Google's Gemini AI, on the other hand, was downloaded 783,632 times during the same period. Experts have also argued that ChatGPT provides better AI services than Google's Gemini.
While it's unclear how ChatGPT integration will work in Galaxy AI, its implementation could be similar to iOS 18, which allows iPhone users to tell Siri to invoke ChatGPT whenever they need it.
