It appears that Apple’s Apple Intelligence AI service is still facing obstacles to serve in China, according to the latest report from Financial Times. Apple is reportedly trying to bring its self-developed Generative AI models to China, but has been advised by regulatory authorities there that this approach will be difficult and time-consuming to approve. Providing Generative AI services in China requires licensing from the regulatory authorities.
The regulatory authorities have recommended that Apple collaborate with local companies in China for easier approval and quicker service. Apple has not officially disclosed its plans to launch Apple Intelligence in China, but there have been reports of negotiations with Chinese developers such as Baidu and Alibaba. A similar case is seen with Samsung’s smartphones in China, which use Baidu’s chatbot Ernie instead of Google’s Gemini.
TLDR: Apple faces challenges in offering its Apple Intelligence AI service in China due to regulatory hurdles and is exploring partnerships with local companies for smoother approval processes.
