How does Apple justify such a policy ? The purpose of this rule is to protect user privacy and security. Nefarious websites have analysed other web browser engines and found flaws that have not been disclosed, and exploit those flaws when a user goes to a particular website to silently violate user privacy or security.

When it comes to leveraging ML in enterprise applications, especially in regulated environments, the level of scrutiny for data handling, model fairness, user privacy, and debuggability will be substantially higher than in the first wave of ML applications. The key insight this led to is that ML models are software , derived from data.

Before we get into it, let's make the subtext of the proposal explicit: Libraries provided this way will be as secure and privacy-preserving as every other browser-provided API. The best available proxy data also suggests that shared caches would have a minimal positive effect on performance. Which way should the policy go?

Pre-publication gates were valuable when better answers weren't available, but commentators should update their priors to account for hardware and software progress of the past 13 years. Policies built for a different era don't make sense today, and we no longer need to accept sweeping restrictions in the name of safety.

Suz Hinton's talks on WebUSB show the through-line: as the web gets more capable, whole classes of software suddenly benefit from frictionless deployment, increased safety, better privacy, and more meaningful user controls. Absent compelling content and attentive security and performance focus, it soon retreated to the server. [6].

Privacy: Are we exposing (or hiding) the right content for all of the people with access? As we consider the identities of all people with access to the device, and the identity of the place the device is to be part of, we start to consider what privacy expectations people may have given the context in which the device is used.

In enterprises, we’ve seen everything from wholesale adoption to policies that severely restrict or even forbid the use of generative AI. Unexpected outcomes, security, safety, fairness and bias, and privacy are the biggest risks for which adopters are testing. Another piece of the same puzzle is the lack of a policy for AI use.
