Summary
Researchers at RSAC found a way to bypass Apple Intelligence's guardrails (safety measures that prevent the AI from doing harmful tasks) using two techniques: the Neural Exect method and Unicode manipulation (using special characters to confuse the system). This means attackers could potentially trick Apple's AI into ignoring its safety restrictions.
