Apple Intelligence
Apple's on-device and cloud AI platform, integrating AI capabilities across iPhone, iPad, and Mac with a strong emphasis on privacy-preserving processing.
Apple Intelligence, announced at WWDC 2024, runs AI models locally on Apple Silicon chips whenever possible, sending data to the cloud only when needed through Private Cloud Compute. The company's M-series chips and Neural Engine provide dedicated AI processing hardware across 2+ billion active devices. Apple has been more cautious than competitors in deploying generative AI, prioritizing user privacy. The company partnered with OpenAI to integrate ChatGPT as an optional feature. Apple's AI strategy leverages its hardware-software integration to differentiate on privacy.
