According to Hiroshi Lockheimer, Google’s senior vice president overseeing Android, the company plans to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) as a ’new weapon’ to compete against Apple’s iPhone in 2024. Lockheimer stated that AI will be a ‘major area of investment’ for Android, with the goal of making the operating system more intelligent and capable of anticipating users’ needs. He believes that AI will enable Android to provide a more personalized and efficient experience, potentially giving it an edge over Apple’s iOS. However, Lockheimer acknowledged that Apple has a strong track record of innovation and cautioned against underestimating the company. The comments suggest that the competition between Android and iOS will increasingly focus on AI capabilities in the coming years.
