Can AI completely replace Android on smartphones?
When ChatGPT debuted in late 2022, many saw the conversational AI product as a direct threat to Google Search. That explains Google's big pivot to AI last year, culminating with Google Gemini AI. The early AI war made it seem like Google Search wasn't going to go down without a fight, despite the dawn of ChatGPT and AI-based online search alternatives like Perplexity.
But what if AI replaces Android on future smartphones? That hasn't initially been a concern. However, the arrival of ChatGPT programs also fueled the development of devices we've never had before. Wearables like the Rabbit r1 and Human Ai Pin put AI front and center. And they run operating systems that do not have Android at the core. Smartphones might be next, and we're already seeing the first devices emerge.
In a matter of days, we saw a couple of unexpected developments that directly threaten Android. Deutsche Telekom announced a device that wants to "free smartphones of apps." Then, Chinese smartphone vendor Meizu announced that it will stop making traditional Android phones, choosing instead to go all in on AI.
