Apple has officially partnered with Alibaba for AI services in China, as confirmed by Alibaba chairman Joe Tsai at the World Government Summit in Dubai. This collaboration comes after Apple evaluated several Chinese companies, including Baidu, ByteDance, and Tencent, for the partnership. Due to Chinese regulations mandating that AI services must be provided by local firms for government permits, this collaboration marks a significant step for Apple in bringing its AI capabilities to the Chinese market. This partnership is expected to facilitate the launch of Apple Intelligence in China soon.
Apple has to have a local partner in China because over there AI services are required to have a permit from the government, which only hands out such permits to local companies.
They want to use our AI to power their phones. We feel extremely honored to do business with a great company like Apple.
