how to disable apple intelligence and chatgpt in macOS 15.1 using jamf pro

[KittyGoyenk]

So with the concern of data being send to chatgpt, how do we disable Apple Intelligence and chatGPT integration using JamfPro (Cloud) in macOS 15.1?

[AJPinto · Accepted solution]

The ChatGPT function is not being added until 15.2, and there is a key in 15.2 Beta 1 that disables ChatGPT. Check AppleSeed for IT, the notes for 15.2 have the key and how to use it.

A bit later on in the 15.2 beta Apple will publish the keys here.

The three ones for macOS are already integrated in the Payload "Restrictions". I guess the other ones will follow soon.

[BL-ay]

My bad. For macOS 15.0.

Have you tested this yet yourself? I am trying to block the AI feature on our Macs for the time being and have unticked all three boxes. The config profile is being distributed but does not seem to have any effect on that feature. It stays enabled on my test mac and shows no message like other areas "This setting has been configured by a profile"

We are seeing the same thing in our Jamf Pro instance

Thank for this...

[dubel]

I downloaded and imported them, but nothing is shown in the profile, am I doing something wrong?

I can use the built in restriction but there is a bug with the majorOSdefer that makes this more difficult on the long run.

ChatGPT integration will be available only on 15.2 as it in beta stage , it can’t discuss in this forum , join in the Appleseed private channel to discuss about the beta

I installed 15.2 Beta 4 on my work mac. I have been instructed on disabling AI on all of our macs. How do i get this configured into Jamf Pro? I found the settings above but it does not disable or remove it from Settings.

You can deploy a custom payload for com.company.application domain, it should disable all available Apple

Intelligence features:

What do I put in for this:
com.company.application?

[jho]

com.apple.applicationaccess worked in our testing.

[iOllie]

The same for me --> com.apple.applicationaccess.

[stevefitz]

I tried using the above plist and com.apple.applicationaccess, but my test machines still have access. They are scoped correctly so I don't know what's going on. I tried the other method of setting restrictions and unchecking the features, but that didn't work either.

[azercher]

I am having the same problem with my test MacBook pro.

I suspect that once Jamf Pro 11.12 comes out, we will have more advanced options to disable AI. We need to disable AI due to HIPPA compliancy.

[obi-k]

Where do you still have access? In System Settings?

Do you it configured in Restricted Software?

[chriso16]

I'm having the same issue I opened JAMF Pro Support Ticket.

Can we disable Apple Intelligence after it enabled? we have few user where the EA shows Apple Intelligence:Enabled (no Apple Account), how to disable from Jamf?
 Already I set configuration profile to disable Apple Intelligence on all mac.
