Apple Intelligence may become mandatory in iOS and macOS 27 (manualdousuario.net)

I am 100% sure there will be a `defaults write ...` command and/or a policy setting via Apple Configurator (mobileconfig profile) to disable it completely.

They will probably push hard on the "enabled by default" part. Since they are literally paying millions to Google...

of course it is, all the cute little options to toggle off AI are only temporary... it's going to be inextricably baked into systems as time goes on, especially if it's a local model

Another reason not to upgrade from 18.

The author missed the big red "Turn Siri Off" button at the bottom of the same preferences window that they're using as proof that it can't be turned off. https://imgur.com/a/hB5fWLS

You can block Apple Intelligence and Siri using Screen Time. Configuration profiles and the typical user-facing settings are not likely to go anywhere either.
