Shanghai’s cyberspace regulator announced a key regulatory clearance for Apple Intelligence on iPads and Mac computers. The clearance follows a similar approval for iPhones earlier this year, paving the way for Apple to offer its generative AI features to users in China.
To meet China’s data regulations, Apple worked with Alibaba to train a custom AI model for the Chinese market. The first Apple Intelligence features are expected to reach Chinese users in December through a software update.
The clearance is an important step in Apple’s effort to compete and maintain its position in China.
