Apple Software Executive Says Apple Intelligence Does Not Use Google Search

A senior software executive at Apple stated that the company's Apple Intelligence features operate without relying on Google search technology. The executive said the system handles user requests through its own processing methods rather than routing queries to external search services.

Intelligence is the company's suite of artificial intelligence tools integrated into its devices and software platforms. The executive's statement clarifies the technical foundation of these features amid ongoing questions about data sources and partnerships. The comment comes as technology companies face scrutiny over how their AI systems access and process information.
