Why Apple Picked Google for AI

Episode Description (130 words): In this episode of The Macro AI Podcast, Gary and Scott unpack why Apple chose Google’s Gemini to power the next-generation Siri — and why the move makes perfect sense when viewed through history. The hosts trace Google’s 20-year journey in artificial intelligence: from Google Brain’s “cat-video” experiment to DeepMind’s AlphaGo and the 2017 Transformer breakthrough by Google Research. They spotlight the engineers, hardware, and research culture that made Google the quiet giant of AI. The conversation then turns to Apple’s strategy — speed, scale, and privacy — and what this partnership means for the future of AI ecosystems. Apple AI partnership, Google Gemini, Siri upgrade, DeepMind, Transformer architecture, Google Research 2017, TPU Trillium, word2vec, Google Brain, Jeff Dean, Demis Hassabis, Macro AI Podcast Send a Text to the AI Guides on the show!About your AI GuidesGary Sloperhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/gsloper/Scott Bryanhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/scottjbryan/ Macro AI Website: https://www.macroaipodcast.com/Macro AI LinkedIn Page:  https://www.linkedin.com/company/macro-ai-podcast/Gary's Free AI Readiness Assessment:https://macronetservices.com/events/the-comprehensive-guide-to-ai-readinessScott's Content & Bloghttps://www.macronomics.ai/blog
