Apple’s plan to launch AI for iPhones in China will be “difficult and long process” but there’s a way

Apple’s plan to bring its artificial intelligence (AI) features, known as Apple Intelligence, on iPhones and other products in China is facing regulatory hurdles, a report has said, adding that the process can be comparatively “simple and straightforward” if the company partners with a local AI company.
According to a report by The Financial Times, a high-ranking Chinese official said that foreign companies like Apple will face a “difficult and long process” to win approval to operate their own AI models in China. The report cites a high-ranking official at the Cyberspace Administration of China, the top Chinese tech regulator, as saying.
