Show âŧ
Apple Intelligence, the AI framework behind enhanced Siri and other AI applications, collects extensive contextual data from users, even for simple queries. This data collection includes information such as music being played and message content from supposedly end-to-end encrypted apps like WhatsApp. Apple has largely dismissed these findings as expected behavior, despite initial interest in addressing the concerns. Siri's data collection practices raise significant privacy concerns, as users may not be aware of the extent of data being sent to Apple's servers. This issue is particularly relevant for enterprise environments, where governance and visibility tools are crucial for managing AI-driven data risks. The findings highlight the need for better governance and visibility tools in enterprises to monitor and control data sent to AI models, ensuring that sensitive information is protected.
