Whenever the new Siri finally launches, it’s going to be the most privacy-respecting AI chatbot out there, with an additional privacy feature reported yesterday.
We already knew that Apple’s agreement with Google will mean that Siri is not allowed to be used to train the Gemini model, and Bloomberg is now reporting an option to automatically delete our Siri conversations …
While the new Siri will be powered by Google’s Gemini, it won’t be running on Google servers. Apple has said that it will instead run AI functions on-device wherever possible and the Gemini model on its own Private Cloud Compute servers where required. Outgoing CEO Tim Cook said at the time:
“We believe that we can unlock a lot of experiences and innovate in a key way due to the collaboration. We’ll continue to run on the device and run in Private Cloud Compute, and maintain our industry-leading privacy standards in doing so.“
Yesterday’s report says that the new Siri app will offer us the option of having our chats automatically deleted afterwards.
