Alphabet Inc. Chief Executive Officer Sundar Pichai said in court proceedings Wednesday that he hopes that Gemini, his company’s AI service, will be added as a built-in option for iPhones this year.

Apple Inc.’s AI system, known as Apple Intelligence, uses its own models for the majority of artificial intelligence tasks available on the iPhone, iPad and Mac. But the company also has partnered with OpenAI’s ChatGPT for integration into Siri and Writing Tools, a feature for creating and editing text across the operating system.
