Why it matters

The figures indicate a clear shift towards voice-based interaction in AI services over traditional text input. The high volume of images generated daily also underscores the large-scale demand for generative image models in consumer applications.

Who is affected?

The development affects both consumers using mobile AI assistants in their daily lives and image creators. It also impacts developers and competitors in the generative AI market.

Impact on the EU

The app and its voice features are available to users within the EU but are subject to the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the forthcoming EU AI Act, which dictate how user data and voice biometrics may be processed.

What else you should know

The voice function has become a key component for AI assistants, with Google and competitors such as OpenAI continuously developing more natural voice interfaces for mobile devices.
