The term, in context

AI-assisted draft · approved dataset

Apple Private Cloud Compute (PCC) is a confidential computing architecture that routes on-device artificial intelligence requests too large for local hardware to Apple silicon servers running stateless, cryptographically attested software images. A client device checks the server attestation before releasing data, and the images are published for independent inspection, so processing is bound to the request and no user data is retained afterwards.
