Understanding Aggregate Trends for Apple Intelligence Using Differential Privacy
At Apple, we believe privacy is a fundamental human right. And we believe in giving our users a great experience while protecting their privacy. For years, we’ve used techniques like differential privacy as part of our opt-in device analytics program. This lets us gain insights into how our products are used, so we can improve them, while protecting user privacy by preventing Apple from seeing individual-level data from those users.
