On January 14, 2026, Google launched Personal Intelligence—an AI feature that connects information from Gmail, Google Photos, and other apps to provide personalized answers in Gemini. The feature directly challenges Apple Intelligence.
In a surprising twist, Apple announced it chose Google to power its AI features, including a major Siri upgrade expected later this year. Personal Intelligence may be the foundation for that partnership.
Privacy Considerations
Google is making Personal Intelligence opt-in, recognizing that AI accessing personal emails and photos requires explicit user consent. This contrasts with more aggressive data collection approaches.
