As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to push cultural conversations, the economics behind it are rapidly coming into focus since the technology demands massive computational power and constant development, and are unlikely to be offered for free down the line. Few companies want to put a price tag on things at the moment, given that not many have successfully rolled out AI alongside hardware, but this pivot to machine learning at scale, where the system essentially ‘learns’ from patterns in data will change how consumers subscribe to services in the future, much like the way our grandparents could never fathom paying for a portable phone line that would be with them 24/7.
With the launch of Google’s Pixel 9 flagship series, the integration of AI into hardware has never been more evident, particularly with large language models like Gemini, Google’s AI assistant – requiring extensive training data, large-scale infrastructure, and significant processing power to function. The tech giant is pushing Gemini Advanced, the premium upgrade that comes at additional cost, through its current hook, to get consumers seduced by AI, is a complimentary one-year subscription on the Pixel 9 Pro and Pro XL models.
