In a surprising turn of events, Alphabet’s stock (NASDAQ:GOOGL) saw a 4.6% rise following reports of a possible partnership between Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Google Gemini for AI integration on the iPhone. This move could potentially shake up the tech industry, with implications for both companies in the race for AI dominance.
While a Google-Apple partnership in AI could bring about regulatory scrutiny, it could also prove to be highly beneficial for both companies. With Microsoft currently leading the pack in generative AI, Apple is in dire need to catch up in this rapidly evolving field. A partnership with Google Gemini could provide them with the necessary tools to compete effectively.
Both Google Gemini and ChatGPT-4 Turbo are still in development stages and are not without their flaws. However, the advancements being made in AI are exponential, promising exciting possibilities for the future. Apple may even consider replacing Google Gemini with its own LLM down the line, if the timing is right.
Analysts are bullish on both Alphabet and Apple stocks, with a Strong Buy rating for Alphabet and a Moderate Buy rating for Apple. The potential Google-Apple Gemini AI deal could potentially lead to a significant valuation multiple expansion for Alphabet, making it an attractive prospect for investors.
Despite the recent market action, no deal has been confirmed yet. However, Apple seems to be actively seeking an AI partner for the early stages of AI development. With the tech industry constantly evolving, only time will tell how this potential partnership will shape the future of AI integration in smartphones.
