ABOUT THE COMPANY

Apple

Apple brings hardware, software and silicon into a connected computing platform, with privacy a stated design principle. These themes align with the challenge of useful intelligence in personal spaces.

COLLABORATION DIRECTION

Useful compute. Deliberate data boundaries.

  • A formal partnership provides the basis for compute and privacy exploration.
  • Explore local processing and the minimum context needed for a useful task.
  • Make resident authority, data boundaries and the role of cloud services explicit.
Company background and Tecco collaboration direction are distinct. Product support and project scope are established for each engagement.

Intelligence close to personal context

Our formal partnership provides a foundation for exploring compute and privacy. A home presents a demanding question: how much can intelligence achieve close to the resident, using only the context required for a particular task?

Explore local and cloud responsibilities

Privacy as an architectural boundary

The exploration concerns where processing happens, which context crosses a boundary and how resident authority is retained. Specific integrations and product announcements will be described separately as this work develops.
