On December 2nd, according to BloombergappleHead of artificial intelligence John Giannandrea SEPARATION WILL TAKE PLACE AFTER A VOLATILE MANDATE. THE SENIOR EXECUTIVE, WHO HAD LED THE MACHINE LEARNING AND AI STRATEGY, PERFORMED POORLY IN ADVANCING THE GENERATION OF AI, LEADING COMPANIES TO LAG BEHIND IN THEIR COMPETITION WITH SILICON VALLEY。
Apple's layout in generated AI is two years later than in OpenAI's ChatGPT, and Apple Industries is even. In addition, the large-scale update of Siri, originally planned for spring 2025, had to be postponed, further highlighting the team ' s plight。
Giannandrea added apples seven years ago from Google, reporting directly to CEO Tim Cook. Apple indicated that he would officially leave the company after completing the transition next spring。
Unlike in the past, Apple does not seek a successor for it, but chooses to split up the artificial intelligence team, with the software manager Craig Federighi and the Chief Operator Sabih Khan and the service manager, Eddie Cue, taking over。
At the same time, AI researcher Amar Subramanya joined Apple as Vice-President, reporting directly to the software manager Federighi. He will be responsible for such areas as basic modelling, machine learning research and AI safety and assessment. These are the main responsibilities of Giannandrea in the near future. Subramanya worked for 16 years in Google and recently served as Vice President of Microsoft ' s AI Enterprise。
Apple's IA strategy readjustment shows the company's continuing pressure in the area of artificial intelligence. Although the update of Siri has been delayed, Apple plans to launch a new version of the software next spring with a view to narrowing the gap with competitors。
