AI operates in two primary environments: on-device and cloud-based. On-device AI processes data locally, ensuring privacy and speed by eliminating the need for internet connectivity. Cloud-based AI, on the other hand, leverages powerful remote servers to handle complex computations and large-scale data analysis, enabling more robust capabilities but often at the cost of latency and potential privacy concerns.
Apple Intelligence exemplifies the strengths of on-device AI, with innovations like Siri, Face ID, and real-time photo enhancements all designed to prioritise user privacy while delivering seamless, responsive experiences. Unlike cloud-based AI, which may send sensitive data to external servers for processing, Apple’s approach ensures that personal information stays on the user’s device and is protected by advanced encryption. This difference builds trust and empowers users with faster, more reliable interactions.
In this episode, Paulina Rios Maya, Head of Industry Relations, speaks to Karel Callens, CEO at Luzmo, about best practices for developers integrating AI into their products.
