During the last few months, we have witnessed in luxury how a large number of technology companies have been presenting their own Artificial Intelligence models. One of the innovations that attracted the most attention was that of Apple and its model named Apple Intelligence. And, since then, there has been a lot of news that has emerged around this issue. Especially regarding its compatibility with older devices.
Just a few hours ago, the OCU has done its own analysis of it and has addressed some of the most important issues that we should know. And, among all of them, there are two aspects that “disturb” to the organism itself.
Privacy
The first of them refers to Privacy. Although Apple has repeatedly indicated that Apple Intelligence will not put user privacy at risk at any time, the OCU hopes that the AEPD remains vigilant to quickly address any privacy issues that may be detected.”.
Since Artificial Intelligence landed in our daily lives, there have been many issues that have arisen around the privacy of all the information that we enter into this type of applications. The reason is that there are certain questions that have to do with the use of our data, especially regarding the possibilities of these companies using this information to continue training their models.
It is worth remembering that Apple has partnered with OpenAI for ChatGPT to reach iOS 18, iPadOS and macOS Sequoia. The company founded by Sam Altman has always been at the center of controversy due to the unknowns arising from his data processing policy. So it was to be expected that the OCU would have certain doubts once the alliance between both companies became known.
Device obsolescence
Along with privacy, the feeling of obsolescence is another aspect on which the OCU focuses. Apple Intelligence It will not be compatible with all the company’s devices. In fact, among all the models that the company with the bitten apple currently has in its catalog, only el iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max They are going to be compatible with this novelty.
A situation that can cause users who wish to use this technology to feel attracted to making a hasty change to terminals that work perfectly for day-to-day life because they are not compatible with Apple’s AI.
The organization recommends that before carrying out such an action, users should consider whether, in fact, they are going to use AI in everyday life and if it is worth it to consider changing the device. If this is indeed the case, he recommends that we try to give a second life to our smartphone going to a second-hand platform or a store specialized in the sale of reconditioned products.
Furthermore, in the event that our previous device was already from Apple, it also mentions that we go to the Trade-In service from the company itself that offers us a discount on our next terminal if we deliver the old one. As long as we meet the minimum criteria that the device must have for it to be accepted.
