We're working hard to find a path forward to preserve our users' privacy and security."Digital Markets Act May 2023- among other things, requires interoperability for gatekeeper platformsApple requested an exemption to the DMA for Siri AI and did not get it.Apple claims complying with the DMA would "give any AI system nearly unlimited access to a user’s device, as well as the ability to act on that access autonomously without a user’s ongoing visibility and control. That includes the ability to read and send messages, make purchases, access files, and execute actions across any app.""Apple designed a solution called Trusted System Agent — an intermediary that would allow virtual assistants to safely access the same features and capabilities as Siri AI for devices in the EU. Apple also shared a plan to launch Siri AI in the EU while gradually rolling out this new solution over an 18-month period." The EU digital affairs spokesman Thomas Regnier said: "Apple was simply unable to develop interoperability solutions that meet essential EU privacy and security standards." He wrote on LinkedIn, "But instead of offering a compliant solution, Apple asked to be exempted from its interoperability.”Patrick is here to help us understand the context of the DMA and what it is meant to achieve.
