Apple says its AI is still private, even when it's running on Google's servers
Some models run in Google’s cloud, but without giving Google any kind of access.
TL;DR
- Apple's Siri AI uses Google's Gemini models and runs on Nvidia hardware in Google servers.
- Apple claims user privacy is maintained through enhanced security protocols in its updated Private Cloud Compute system.
- On-device models handle simpler queries, while more complex tasks use cloud-based models.
- Security measures include Nvidia's Confidential Computing, Intel's Trust Domain Extensions, and Google's Titan security chip.
- An on-device "System Orchestrator" manages data access and ensures data is transient and deleted after use.
- Siri AI and other Apple Intelligence features will launch with iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and macOS 17 this fall.
