Google CEO Sundar Pichai indicates that Gemini may see advertisements in the future, reflecting the company’s history and strategy of integrating ads into its products. While Gemini currently offers free access and subscription options, Pichai hinted that ads could be introduced to support the service financially. He emphasized user experience as a priority, but also acknowledged that integrating ads could be crucial for managing the substantial costs of AI development, which Google has committed to funding significantly.
On the monetization side, obviously, for now, we are focused on a free tier and subscriptions. But obviously, as you've seen in Google over time, we always want to lead with user experience.
Advertising has been a great aspect of that strategy. And so, just like you've seen with YouTube, we'll give people options over time.
