This Week in IT, I look at some of the differences between Microsoft Copilot+ and Apple Intelligence, focusing on performance and privacy. Plus, DirectAccess is being deprecated and Teams Rooms gets a set of new features.
Apple Intelligence claims to keep most of the user data on the device, and use a system called Private Cloud Compute to encrypt and anonymize the data that is sent to the cloud. It also gives users the option to opt out of sharing data with third parties like OpenAI.
Apple Intelligence boasts a faster and more efficient large language model that runs on the device, while Copilot+ relies on cloud-based services.
This episode also covers the deprecation of DirectAccess, a remote access solution for Windows, and the new features of Teams Rooms.
