For the last decade, the technology industry has been obsessed with the cloud. The assumption was that the future of AI will also rely on massive data centers, infinite GPUs, and an always-on internet connection. Apple, however, took a different path. With Apple Silicon, they bet that the most important processing would happen locally on the Neural Engine. I believe Apple made an incredibly important decision.For the Apple admin, this means the days of “set it and forget it” are over. We need visibility into what these local models are doing. We need to know which browser extensions are reading screen content. We need to bridge the gap between our identity providers and our endpoint management to ensure that a “managed” device is actually a “trusted” one. Do you think that local AI is the beiggest venture on the line ?
