Title: Apple Working To Move To AI Search in Browser Amid Google Fallout

Link: https://apple.slashdot.org/story/25/05/07/164...

Apple is "actively looking at" revamping the Safari web browser on its
devices to focus on AI-powered search engines, a seismic shift for the
industry hastened by the potential end of a longtime partnership with Google.
From a report: Eddy Cue, Apple's senior vice president of services, made the
disclosure Wednesday during his testimony in the US Justice Department's
lawsuit against Alphabet. The heart of the dispute is the two companies'
estimated $20 billion-a-year deal that makes Google the default offering for
queries in Apple's browser. The case could force the tech giants to unwind
the pact, upending how the iPhone and other devices have long operated. Cue
noted that searches on Safari dipped for the first time last month, which he
attributed to people using AI. Cue said he believes that AI search providers,
including OpenAI, Perplexity and Anthropic, will eventually replace standard
search engines like Alphabet's Google. He said he believes Apple will bring
those options to Safari in the future. "We will add them to the list -- they
probably won't be the default," he said, indicating that they still need to
improve.
