阅读苹果官方文档:了解新音频功能如何保护用户隐私
Apple says it can’t access users’ raw audio from its new Audio Intelligence features. 苹果表示,其无法访问用户在使用全新“音频智能”(Audio Intelligence)功能时的原始音频数据。
At Wednesday’s iPhone Duo launch event, Apple announced a handful of new Siri AI Audio Intelligence features, including Siri Recap, Live Rewind, Sound Recognition, and Music Recognition. Alongside its announcement, Apple released a document laying out how it plans to balance AI “ambient listening” and users’ privacy. It says the raw audio from the new features “is handled within dedicated hardware, is not saved as a file, and is not accessible to the operating system, apps, or Apple.” 在周三的 iPhone Duo 发布会上,苹果宣布了一系列全新的 Siri AI 音频智能功能,包括 Siri 摘要(Siri Recap)、实时回放(Live Rewind)、声音识别(Sound Recognition)和音乐识别(Music Recognition)。在发布这些功能的同时,苹果还发布了一份文档,阐述了其如何平衡 AI“环境监听”与用户隐私。苹果表示,这些新功能产生的原始音频“在专用硬件内处理,不会保存为文件,且操作系统、应用程序或苹果公司本身均无法访问”。
Apple explains that Audio Intelligence relies on the Secure Exclave in the S11 chip that powers the new Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4: 苹果解释称,音频智能功能依赖于驱动新款 Apple Watch Series 12 和 Apple Watch Ultra 4 的 S11 芯片中的“安全隔离区”(Secure Exclave):
The S11 chip in Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4 includes a Secure Exclave: a hardware-isolated compartment built into the silicon to process sensor data separately from the rest of the system. Data that is processed and analyzed in the Secure Exclave cannot be accessed by watchOS, apps, the user, or Apple. Audio from the microphone enters the Secure Exclave of Apple Watch, where it is initially processed for speech, sounds, or music, without transcribing or storing the raw audio. This buffer is a continuously overwritten stream that exists only within the protected hardware and never creates an audio recording. Apple Watch Series 12 和 Apple Watch Ultra 4 中的 S11 芯片包含一个“安全隔离区”:这是一个内置于芯片中的硬件隔离区域,用于将传感器数据与系统其余部分分开处理。在安全隔离区内处理和分析的数据,无法被 watchOS、应用程序、用户或苹果公司访问。来自麦克风的音频进入 Apple Watch 的安全隔离区,并在那里进行语音、声音或音乐的初步处理,过程中不会转录或存储原始音频。该缓冲区是一个持续覆盖的数据流,仅存在于受保护的硬件内,绝不会生成任何音频录音。
Apple also says users control “whether and when” Audio Intelligence features are active — Live Rewind requires users to double-tap the Digital Crown every time they want to activate it. Additionally, if Audio Intelligence needs to be transferred to your iPhone, it’s transferred with encryption through both devices’ Secure Exclaves. Users also choose what text to keep from Siri Recap and Live Rewind, and text from Audio Intelligence will sync with end-to-end encryption if you have a device passcode and use iCloud’s two-factor authentication. 苹果还表示,用户可以控制音频智能功能“是否以及何时”处于激活状态——例如,用户每次想要启用“实时回放”功能时,都需要双击数码表冠。此外,如果音频智能数据需要传输到 iPhone,它将通过两台设备的安全隔离区进行加密传输。用户还可以选择保留哪些来自 Siri 摘要和实时回放的文本;如果你设置了设备密码并使用了 iCloud 双重认证,这些来自音频智能的文本将通过端到端加密进行同步。
