Apple won't roll out AI tech in EU market over regulatory concerns

> “We are concerned that the interoperability requirements of the DMA could force us to compromise the integrity of our products in ways that risk user privacy and data security,” Apple said in a statement.

Apart from the “security concerns” of allowing use of non Apple services it will be interesting to hear the specifics of these. I thought most AI features were being released in American English before other locales in 2025 anyway - this does sound like an excuse to get the public to put pressure on the EU

Huh?

Heh. The spite wars continue. I’m sure this will earn you a lot of favor, Apple.

Their new slate of ai products will be able to have screen reading capabilities. There are legitimate concerns for user privacy here. Their agreement with OpenAI is likely very strict.
