Apple is enhancing its AI capabilities, known as Apple Intelligence, by employing synthetic data and differential privacy to prioritize user privacy. The company aims to improve features like Personal Context and Onscreen Awareness, set to debut in the fall, without collecting or copying personal content from iPhones or Macs. By generating synthetic text and images that mimic user behavior, Apple can gather usage data and refine its AI models while adhering to its strict privacy policies.
Apple's approach involves creating artificial data that closely matches real user input to enhance Apple Intelligence features. This method addresses the limitations of training AI models solely on synthetic data, which may not always accurately reflect actual user interactions. When users opt into Apple's Device Analytics program, the AI models will compare these synthetic messages against a small sample of a user’s content stored locally on the device. The device then identifies which of the synthetic messages most closely matches its user sample, and sends information about the selected match back to Apple, with no actual user data leaving the device.
To further protect user privacy, Apple utilizes differential privacy techniques. This involves adding randomized data to broader datasets to prevent individual identification. For example, when analyzing Genmoji prompts, Apple polls participating devices to determine the popularity of specific prompt fragments. Each device responds with a noisy signal, ensuring that only widely-used terms become visible to Apple, and no individual response can be traced back to a user or device. Apple plans to extend these methods to other Apple Intelligence features, including Image Playground, Image Wand, Memories Creation, and Writing Tools. This technique allows Apple to improve its models for longer-form text generation tasks without collecting real user content.
