Apple Intelligence registered for use in China
China's cyberspace regulator said Apple Intelligence had been registered for use on iPhones in China, marking a regulatory step for Apple's generative-AI features in the Chinese market.[1] Alibaba said the Chinese version of the service would use its Qwen model, tying the rollout to a domestic model provider.[1]
The development is relevant to AI governance because China's approval and registration processes shape how foreign device makers deploy generative-AI features in the country.[1]
