One of the presenters said they're working with regulators in China and the EU to make it available eventually.
In the EU case, Apple weaponizes people's ignorance about regulation. Apple pretends that the features everyone else has been shipping left and right somehow need extra paperwork and special approvals, because (…checks notes…) pro-privacy EU laws let zero-privacy competitors sail through, but block implementations that offer more privacy!?

What's really happening is Apple unilaterally withholding features while making vague noises about regulation as bargaining chips in talks with EU regulators where Apple is trying to weasel out of punishment for breaking anti-monopoly laws.

It IS regulatory. The EU wants “anything Apple AI can do you have to let other AI providers do with equal access”.

Which is fucking stupid, and Apple will never, ever throw open the gates to something so dangerously braindead. Their entire reputation depends on it.

And China is kinda self-explanatory.

Nice, waiting to see what they’ll market as “the feature” for when they run ads outside of the US
