Here's how Apple plans to protect privacy and still compete on AI
http://www.recode.net/2016/6/13/11925660/apple-differential-privacy
But the method is untested with wide use, as it will be across
all Apple devices. And some researchers are skeptical of its
real world applicability. One legal paper argued that the
differential privacy method "will usually produce either very
wrong research results or very useless privacy protections."
So it's unclear if Apple would be able to deploy the method to
deliver its advanced software -- or, conversely, really
provide the safeguards Apple promises.
