Google and Samsung Announce Expanded AI Collaboration for Android and Galaxy Ecosystems
In a significant move, Google and Samsung have announced plans to expand their collaboration in developing and deploying new artificial intelligence (AI) experiences for Android and Galaxy smartphones. This partnership aims to strengthen the Android ecosystem by leveraging the combined expertise of both tech giants.
The two companies have a history of successful AI collaborations, with the notable example of Circle to Search. This visual lookup feature, initially developed by Google, made its debut on Samsung’s Galaxy S24 series before being introduced to the Pixel 8 series. Now, Google and Samsung are poised to take their partnership to the next level.
Rick Osterloh, Senior Vice President of Platforms & Devices at Google, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration in a post on X (formerly Twitter). He highlighted the strong partnership between the two companies and expressed excitement for the future prospects of their AI collaboration.
Samsung Mobile’s official X handle echoed the sentiment, emphasizing the shared vision for AI innovation in the Android and Galaxy ecosystems. The company hinted at the development of exciting AI features, some of which may be unveiled at the upcoming Google I/O event on May 14. Additionally, both Google and Samsung continue to independently invest in AI-focused products and services. Samsung has introduced its Galaxy AI suite for the Galaxy S24 series, which includes features like Live Translate, Generative Edit, and Chat Assist. Google, on the other hand, is reportedly working on enhancements to its Gemini AI Assistant for Android, such as a floating window and a Live Prompt feature.
This expanded AI collaboration between Google and Samsung is expected to bring forth a wave of innovative AI experiences for Android and Galaxy users. The fusion of expertise from both companies promises to shape the future of AI integration in mobile devices and the broader Android ecosystem.
