Apple Intelligence AI guardrails bypassed in new attack

Researchers from RSAC have found a way to bypass the safety protocols of Apple’s Intelligence AI with a high success rate.

Apple Intelligence is a deeply integrated personal intelligence system for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS that combines generative AI with personal context.

It primarily processes tasks directly on Apple silicon via a compact on-device LLM. The AI draws on the user’s unique context (messages, photos, and schedules) to power practical features such as system-wide writing tools and Siri. For more complex reasoning, it offloads requests to larger foundation models via Private Cloud Compute (PCC) on Apple’s dedicated cloud infrastructure.
