Apple ($AAPL) Plans Custom Chips for AI and Confidential Computing

Apple Inc. ($AAPL) plans to introduce artificial intelligence (AI) services that prioritize user privacy by using custom chips for confidential computing techniques. The company will process data in a 'virtual black box,' ensuring that employees cannot access the data.

The initiative, reported by The Information, aims to enhance privacy for users even when data is processed in the cloud.
