Apple put a neural engine on-die in the A11 back in 2017:

The A-derived M-series chips had them from the beginning in 2020:

Seems like they've been doing machine learning for a while now.

They've been using them, too. Auto OCR so selecting text in images Just Works, image enhancements, Siri. I'm sure LLM Siri is in the works. Scanning your photos for CSAM. Let's hope that last one is more reliable than Siri :/

Wasn’t csam ultimately rolled back? And wasn’t it not Ai based but hash based?

They added it back in as an optional thing for child accounts managed in a family in messages. It sure sounds like it's AI based and not hash based in this case.
