Discussion

Apple Intelligence features such as Image Playground must be disabled. Using off-device AI poses a data loss risk.

Check Content

Verify the macOS system is configured to disable Apple Intelligence Image Playground with the following command:

/usr/bin/osascript -l JavaScript << EOS
$.NSUserDefaults.alloc.initWithSuiteName('com.apple.applicationaccess')\
.objectForKey('allowImagePlayground').js
EOS

If the result is not "false", this is a finding.

Fix Text

Configure the macOS system to disable Apple Intelligence Image Playground by installing the "com.apple.applicationaccess" configuration profile.
