With macOS 27 Golden Gate, Apple has expanded Siri’s capabilities by integrating advanced AI features that can provide more contextual assistance, smarter responses, and improved productivity tools.
While many users appreciate these enhancements, others may prefer to disable Siri AI for privacy reasons, a simpler experience, or to reduce reliance on AI-powered features. Fortunately, Apple gives you the flexibility to enable or disable Siri AI whenever you want. In this guide, I’m going to show you how to allow or disallow Siri AI in macOS 27 Golden AI on your Mac.
- Navigate to the System Settings app on your Mac > Screen Time.
- Now, choose Content & Privacy > Siri.
- Then, you need to click on the drop-down menu.
- After Siri AI, or Don’t Allow Siri, depending on your needs.
- In the end, make sure to hit the Done button at the bottom of the menu to confirm the action.
Note that if you want to go back to the classic Siri, simply choose Siri Classic in the menu, and that’s about it.
It’s a pretty neat way to customize how Siri works on your Mac. If you enjoy intelligent suggestions, enhanced assistance, and AI-powered features, keeping Siri AI enabled can help you get more done.
On the other hand, disabling it lets you stick with a more traditional Siri experience. Since the setting can be changed at any time, feel free to experiment and choose the option that best matches your preferences.
