Apple 'Overton': Automating Low-Code Machine Learning

Apple has struggled in recent years to establish a robust artificial intelligence (A.I.) practice. This partially stems from the company's ironclad privacy policies--it's more difficult to analyze datasets for insights when internal rules prevent the company from using every piece of user data it can vacuum up. Nonetheless, Apple's newest projects show that it's powering ahead anyway--including one platform that, if it's ever released, could change how you use A.I. and machine learning (ML). It seems unlikely that Apple's stance on data and privacy will change during Cook's tenure.) How does Overton go about this herculean task?
