with the beginning of Apple Intelligence There will also be many questions about data protection this year. Apple emphasizes that if possible, AI processing should be done using local language models along with the rest of the applications Via highly secured servers (Private Cloud Compute, PCC) Want to take over. However, the system is so personal that a lot of private data is touched at the beginning. This is likely to make many companies worried. Problem: Apple has still not commented on whether Apple Intelligence can be turned off and how it can be controlled through mobile device management (MDM).

An appeal to Apple from Jamf
US company Jamf, a market leader among MDM tool providers, has now asked Apple to comment on the issue. “Like many other AI technologies before it, Apple Intelligence pushes the boundaries of data sharing, sovereignty, and security, especially for organizations with high data security or compliance needs,” product management boss Matt Vlasach said in a statement on Thursday. “We expect Apple will give device management providers like us, and by extension these organizations, the ability to disable or otherwise restrict AI tools on managed devices that have access to corporate data.”
The desire to deactivate is likely to affect not only companies, but also ordinary users. Before the announcement at Apple’s developer conference WWDC, there were still rumors Apple Intelligence will become a completely opt-in service It becomes so because till now the service Not yet released to beta testers The question cannot be answered conclusively. However, in the past, it was always possible to restrict AI features within iOS, iPadOS or macOS or not activate them if you didn’t want them. Still, this happened once before – apparently due to an error For unsolicited data transmission of Siri information,
Apple Intelligence across multiple devices
Apple Intelligence will quickly spread widely. On iPhone, the system is initially only compatible with the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max, but from September it will probably be compatible with all four new iPhone 16 devices. However, Mac and iPad support is pretty high from the start. Apple Intelligence should run on all machines with Apple’s M-SoC, i.e. iPads with M1, M2 and M4 as well as Macs with M1, M2 and M3 – each with Pro, Max and (if available) Ultra variants. So everyone is on a Mac Apple Silicon Machines From 2020.
This will be possible even with the help of Apple’s own AI OpenAI services on iPhone, iPad and Mac (ChatGPT with GPT-4o). to use. However, the data should only be passed on if the user approves it. But for contemporaries like Elon Musk this is not enough – he wants to do this If necessary, ban iPhones in the company as well Because they don’t trust the statements. Meanwhile, Jamf is working on ways to potentially push AI services to a network base for enterprise customers. MDM specialists have already done this with ChatGPT. “In any case, in the future it will be even more important than ever to have a well-thought-out management strategy for the company’s Apple devices,” says product manager Vlasach.
