Google might put an AI button on the lock screen. It’s not clear what it’ll do, but it could be related to its Gemini AI.

      Being able to ask questions about the currently playing YouTube video has been phenomenal for me, it’s the ultimate anti-clickbait.

    But why? Most actions it can perform will require you to unlock your phone for safety, so you might as well just unlock first and ask later.
