And they announced yesterday they were integrating AI into even your personal info.

But hey, they promised they'd only use it for good and not evil. What more does anyone need other than that?
 
MIT Technology Review:

At its Worldwide Developer Conference on Monday, Apple for the first time unveiled its vision for supercharging its product lineup with artificial intelligence. The key feature, which will run across virtually all of its product line, is Apple Intelligence, a suite of AI-based capabilities that promises to deliver personalized AI services while keeping sensitive data secure.

It represents Apple’s largest leap forward in using our private data to help AI do tasks for us. To make the case it can do this without sacrificing privacy, the company says it has built a new way to handle sensitive data in the cloud.

Apple says its privacy-focused system will first attempt to fulfill AI tasks locally on the device itself. If any data is exchanged with cloud services, it will be encrypted and then deleted afterward. The company also says the process, which it calls Private Cloud Compute, will be subject to verification by independent security researchers.

The pitch offers an implicit contrast with the likes of Alphabet, Amazon, or Meta, which collect and store enormous amounts of personal data. Apple says any personal data passed on to the cloud will be used only for the AI task at hand and will not be retained or accessible to the company, even for debugging or quality control, after the model completes the request.

Simply put, Apple is saying people can trust it to analyze incredibly sensitive data—photos, messages, and emails that contain intimate details of our lives—and deliver automated services based on what it finds there, without actually storing the data online or making any of it vulnerable.

Apple Inc. (AAPL) recently held its Worldwide Developers Conference ("WWDC"), where it showed off new artificial-intelligence-based features coming to the iPhone, iPad, and Mac in the fall (in beta). Although we will have to wait and see how well Apple’s new AI products perform in practice, Apple’s announcements still provide material new information for Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ:QCOM) investors. In this article, I discuss my key takeaways for QCOM stock.

Personalized AI Requires Personal Data
Apple introduced a number of AI features that require AI models to have access to users’ personal data, including emails, messages, calendar events, etc. For instance, Siri will now be able to hold contextual conversations based on information in users’ various apps (e.g., when asked “at what time am I supposed to meet XYZ,” Siri will be able to look through your messages, emails, calendar events, etc. to find your plans). Apple also demoed some other personalized AI features as well, for example to limit interruptions from message notifications to only those requiring immediate attention; or to arrange emails by urgency; or to edit photos. All these features require AI models to access and process your personal data.
 
There’s been AI in your phones, your search, and just about everything else computerized you’ve used that worked at all well the last ten years

They’re making a bigger deal about it because of all the GenAI hype and the fact they are incorporating Large Language Models (LLM’s) directly onto your phone that get fine tuned the more you use them.

That’s a lot of customization, but it’s nothing compared with your contacts list, e-wallet, call history, cookies, and app usage history that phones have had since forever.

If this makes you worry, well you’ve already likely been sliding down that slope for a while now friends.

I’ve been developing AI systems for eight years, and without that technology online banking would grind to a comparative halt as fraudsters would be stealing your money left and right
