Apple's Siri gets AI search upgrade

Recaply: Apple is preparing to launch an AI-powered search engine called "World Knowledge Answers" that will make Siri much smarter. Set for spring 2026, this new system will help users search the internet directly through their voice assistant, similar to how ChatGPT works today.

Key notes:

• The search engine will integrate with Siri, Safari, and iPhone's Spotlight feature.

• Apple may partner with Google to power some of the AI technology.

• Users will get summarized answers instead of just links to websites.

• The project represents Apple's biggest Siri upgrade in years.

• Development teams are working to compete with ChatGPT and Perplexity AI.

Impact: Apple's entry into AI search marks a significant shift in the tech giant's strategy, potentially offering iPhone users a more integrated search experience while challenging Google's dominance in web search.

Judge rules Google won't sell Chrome

Recaply: Google emerged victorious from a landmark antitrust battle after a federal judge refused to order the sale of its Chrome browser. The ruling represents a major relief for the search giant, which faced potential breakup following last year's monopoly conviction. Though Google escapes the harshest penalties, it still faces new restrictions on its business practices.

Key notes:

• Court determined that breaking up Google would go beyond addressing search distribution issues.

• Google retains ability to make placement payments to partners but cannot secure exclusive arrangements.

• The tech giant must open up some search data to competitors while protecting user advertising information.

• Investors responded positively with Alphabet stock climbing more than 8% after the decision.

• The outcome allows Google to maintain its business structure during the rise of AI-powered search.

Impact: This measured ruling balances antitrust enforcement with innovation concerns as artificial intelligence reshapes search technology. The decision suggests courts prefer surgical remedies over dramatic corporate restructuring in complex tech cases.

• Mental health experts helped design the safety features.
