Apple Says Its AI is Still Private Even When Running on Google's Servers

Original: Apple says its AI is still private, even when it's running on Google's servers

Apple guarantees user privacy is maintained even when its AI models run on Google Cloud infrastructure.

Apple clarified that running some of its AI models on Google's cloud infrastructure does not compromise user privacy. Through its Private Cloud Compute (PCC) architecture, Apple ensures that all data is processed in secure enclaves with end-to-end encryption. Consequently, Google has zero access to user data, addressing privacy concerns over Apple's cloud partnerships.

As Apple gradually expands its AI capabilities (Apple Intelligence), there is growing public attention on privacy protection mechanisms for its cloud computing. In response to reports that some AI models are actually hosted and running on Google Cloud servers, Apple officially clarified that even when using third-party infrastructure, user privacy remains strictly protected.
