Apple Intelligence is no longer selectable as an on/off option. If you're in a region where it's supported, using a supported language, it's on. It is fully baked into macOS now.


What is optional is Siri AI, which is a different animal and is still in beta. You will find that in the "Siri" menu in System Settings.
