Privacy is prioritized, with on-device processing and Private Cloud Compute for complex queries.
Based on the meeting notes, here are the key takeaways:
– Apple unveiled “Apple Intelligence” at its 2024 Worldwide Developer Conference, a generative AI feature deeply integrated into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia.
– The AI-powered feature creates an on-device semantic index to analyze and retrieve data from emails, images, websites, and apps, allowing users to generate AI-generated images, write and proofread content, and retrieve app data using human language queries.
– Apple Intelligence will enhance Siri’s usability by enabling human language requests to access personal information, and Apple is partnering with other AI platforms to provide more information from external sources, including OpenAI.
– The feature is designed with privacy in mind, utilizing on-device processing and private cloud servers for complex AI models. Apple states that only the data required to process a query is sent and independent experts will verify all devices used in Private Cloud Compute.
– There are potential privacy risks related to malware targeting devices and potential unauthorized access to the semantic index, as well as concerns about Apple Intelligence during Lockdown mode, which restricts various features on Apple devices for increased privacy and security.
The query about potential privacy risks has been raised with Apple, but responses are pending.
