The company invites security researchers to vet Private Cloud Compute, a server system that will process the most complex generative AI tasks for Apple Intelligence.
Apple is offering a reward of up to $1 million to anyone who can hack its new fleet of AI-focused servers meant for Apple Intelligence, which is slated to launch next week.
Apple is asking researchers to test the security of “Private Cloud Compute”, the servers that will receive and process user requests for Apple Intelligence when the AI task is too complex for the on-device processing of an iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
To address privacy concerns, Apple designed Private Cloud Compute servers to immediately delete a user’s request once the task is fulfilled. In addition, the system features end-to-end encryption, meaning Apple cannot uncover the user requests made through Apple Intelligence, even though it controls the server hardware.
