The European Union’s Digital Markets Act is forcing many Big Tech companies to postpone the launch of artificial intelligence-powered features, like Apple Intelligence, over user privacy and data security concerns.
When Apple announced new artificial intelligence features earlier this year, it described how the technology would make its iPhones, iPads, and Mac computers easier to use. Through the use of these new features, people could hold conversations with the company’s Siri voice assistant, asking it to retrieve information from apps, help write messages, and even tutor for math homework. The system would understand each user individually, the company promised, summarizing notifications and alerting people to the most important information as it’s happening.
