On Thursday, Apple unveiled an updated iteration of its 'App Review Guidelines', stipulating that applications must transparently declare and secure explicit user permission prior to sharing any personal user data with third-party artificial intelligence (AI) platforms. This modification is intricately linked to Apple's strategy to introduce its in-house developed, AI-powered iteration of Siri in 2026, with the objective of instituting more rigorous data security benchmarks for its intelligent ecosystem. The upgraded Siri will facilitate cross-application functionalities, with certain capabilities augmented by Google's Gemini technology. Concurrently, Apple has tightened privacy regulations for developers. For the first time, this update explicitly mandates that 'third-party artificial intelligence' entities must comply with a data-sharing consent framework. Notably, several pivotal new stipulations have been incorporated, exerting a substantial influence on AI-reliant applications. Nevertheless, Apple has not yet specified the exactitude of its definition or the stringency of its enforcement criteria. Furthermore, the guidelines endorse the 'Mini-App Program', refresh regulations for creator and lending service applications, and designate cryptocurrency exchanges as highly regulated service apps.
