Apple says its AI is still private, even when it's running on Google's servers
摘要
苹果公司宣布,其长期延迟的Siri升级版本“Siri AI”将使用谷歌的Gemini语言模型,并运行在谷歌服务器中的英伟达硬件上。尽管依赖第三方基础设施,苹果仍坚持其隐私承诺,强调其云服务采用加密技术防止包括员工在内的他人访问。此前,苹果AI模型主要在本地设备或自有服务器上运行。由于本地处理能力有限,苹果通过Private Cloud Compute系统部分
CUPERTINO, California—Apple announced earlier this year that its long-delayed Siri upgrade, announced this week as "Siri AI," would use Google's Gemini language models. What the company confirmed at its Worldwide Developers Conference yesterday was that it also ran on Nvidia hardware installed in Google servers. But the company is still making the same privacy promises it did before, when all of its AI models were either running locally on your devices or on Apple-controlled server hardware.
For years, Apple has touted user privacy as a key benefit of using its platforms. Its cloud services use encryption that's intended to keep other people—including Apple employees—from being able to gain access to it. And the company has long advertised its use of on-device processing for things like scanning images, keeping as much data as possible from leaving your device in the first place.
But with Apple Intelligence, Apple has run up against the limits of its own hardware. The kinds of language and reasoning models that can run locally on an iPhone or Mac are relatively small, limiting their capabilities and accuracy. Apple's Private Cloud Compute system was a partial solution but relied on Apple's own server hardware; to get the kind of capacity it would need to support Siri AI, Apple would have had to commit to a huge data center buildout that it has so far avoided.
