Ask HN: Is it impossible to disable Siri on macOS 27?
The discussion suggests that Apple’s latest macOS may not fully honor user attempts to disable Siri and Apple Intelligence, with a Siri-related process still running even after multiple settings changes. For CIOs and technology leaders, this raises strategic concerns around privacy, regulatory exposure, endpoint governance, and user trust—especially in managed environments where AI features can consume storage, affect performance, and complicate compliance controls. IT teams may need to rely on enterprise policy mechanisms, configuration profiles, and MDM-style controls rather than end-user settings alone to enforce AI disablement across the fleet.
