Apple’s AI platform, Apple Intelligence, is delayed in China as the company struggles to adapt Baidu’s Ernie 4.0 LLM for accurate responses. Privacy conflicts further complicate progress, with Baidu seeking to store user data for AI improvements, which Apple’s policies prohibit. Initially planned for iOS 18.1, the feature’s rollout is postponed in both China and Europe, impacting Siri and other devices.
