Description
Apple Intelligence features that use off device Artificial Intelligence (AI) must be disabled.
Using off-device AI poses a data loss risk.
ℹ️ Check
Verify the macOS system is configured to disable Apple Intelligence Writing Tools with the following command:
/usr/bin/osascript -l JavaScript << EOS
$.NSUserDefaults.alloc.initWithSuiteName('com.apple.applicationaccess')\
.objectForKey('allowWritingTools').js
EOS
If the result is not "false", this is a finding.
✔️ Fix
Configure the macOS system to disable Apple Intelligence Writing Tools by installing the "com.apple.applicationaccess" configuration profile.
