Google Is Introducing Its Own Version of Apple's Private AI Cloud Compute

Google has unveiled Private AI Compute, a cloud platform designed to deliver advanced AI capabilities while preserving user privacy. As The Verge notes, the feature is 'virtually identical to Apple's Private Cloud Compute.' From the report: Many Google products run AI features like translation, audio summaries, and chatbot assistants, on-device, meaning data doesn't leave your phone, Chromebook, or whatever it is you're using. This isn't sustainable, Google says, as advancing AI tools need more reasoning and computational power than devices can supply. The compromise is to ship more difficult AI requests to a cloud platform, called Private AI Compute, which it describes as a 'secure, fortified space' offering the same degree of security you'd expect from on-device processing. Sensitive data is available 'only to you and no one else, not even Google.'
