Case study: Apple wants to ship generative captions for Photos that summarize a user's vacation. Outline an architecture that decides between on-device and cloud generation, details safety filters (personal data, hallucinations), user controls, and the metrics you would use to evaluate quality and safety.

Regulatory scenario: The EU introduces an AI transparency requirement demanding dataset provenance and model lineage for any assistant-like feature. How would you build a compliant audit trail for an Apple ML pipeline—from raw data ingestion, transformations, labeling, training runs, hyperparameters, to deployed model versions—while minimizing exposure of raw user data?
