I was wondering the other day what Apple is planning in the shadow of its R&D dpt regarding AI.
Could it be that Apple will combine its powerful and efficient Silicon SoCs with large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4 to create a secure, privacy-preserving user experience?
The main concept is to perform local semantic indexing of user data on Apple devices using the dedicated ML cores in Apple Silicon chips, such as the M1's Neural Engine. This local semantic indexing would be designed to maintain user privacy by creating a representation of the data that can be safely used without exposing raw information. Techniques like differential privacy or federated learning could be employed to achieve this.
Once the semantic index or representation is created, it could be sent to an LLM hosted on Apple's servers for processing. The LLM would generate a response based on the user's data without ever having direct access to the raw data, further preserving privacy.
To ensure a smooth and efficient user experience, the Apple Silicon SoC's advantages could be leveraged, such as unified memory architecture, specialized ML cores, energy efficiency, and tight integration with Apple's software ecosystem.
This approach has the potential to offer a balanced solution that maintains user privacy while still providing the benefits of LLMs, such as powerful natural language understanding and generation capabilities.
I would love to hear your thoughts on this idea. Do you think it's a viable solution for maintaining privacy while still leveraging the power of LLMs? Are there any potential pitfalls or challenges that you see in implementing this approach? Could this scale down to a iPhone?
