Apple Closes San Diego AI Team, Data Operations Annotation Team to Merge with Austin
Apple is shutting down its 121-member AI team and plans to merge it with a similar team in Austin. The team responsible for enhancing Siri voice assistant's ability to understand user queries may face layoffs. The rise of artificial intelligence has led to layoffs at major companies, with funding shifting towards technological development. Voice AI is widely used among users, yet privacy and security concerns remain. Apple employees must decide whether to relocate within a month, or they will be unemployed by April 26.
