Apple, like a certain number of companies at the moment, can be struggling with what role the most recent advances in AI play and should play, in its activities. But one thing Apple East The fact that he wants to bring more more generative AI talents to his business.
Cupertino has published at least a dozen job advertisements on its career page In search of generative AI experts. More specifically, he is looking for automatic learning specialists “passionate about the construction of extraordinary autonomous systems” in the field. Employment advertisements (some seem to cover the same role, or call for several candidates) began to appear on April 27, the most recent of them being published earlier this week.
Job offers arrive in the midst of the mixed signals of the company around the generative AI. During his call for results in the second quarter at the beginning of the month, CEO Tim Cook dodged by giving specific answers to questions about what the company does in the region – but did not reject it either. While the generator was “very interesting“, He said, Apple would be” deliberate and thoughtful “in its approach. Then yesterday, the WSJ reported That the company had started to restrict the use of the OpenAi chatgpt and other external generative AI tools for certain employees concerning the concerns of proprietary data which escape through the platforms.
These restrictions are neither new nor unique to Apple. A number of companies – technology and non -technology – have stated similar restrictions. A few believe Apple has had its policy in place for a while.
But more third -party applications provide generative ia elements – it was only yesterday This Openai has published its own Chatgpt iOS – and Apple application has worked on its own generative AI products, according to WSJ. The hiring of more generative IA experts may well be helping to serve, both of these purposes.
We contacted Apple earlier this week for a comment on job offers, but we have not yet received an answer.
The openings are in teams that include the integrated system of the system, the NLP input experience, automatic learning R&D and the technological development group located through San Diego, Bay Area and Seattle.
Some roles are specifically focused on visual AIA applications of AI, so that automatic learning experts work on “visual generative modeling to power applications through calculation photography, image and videos editing, 3D form and movement reconstruction (and) the generation of avatar.”
As we mentioned, we do not know exactly what these hires would work – new products or existing refreshments – but the push to bring more generative talent to Apple should not be a surprise.
The company was an early mover in the world of consumer AI applications with the launch of Siri Voice Assistant on the 2011 iPhone, and for years, it has had the reputation of one of the largest technological companies identifying and recruiting AI talents – other companies, startups and according to some, sometimes directly university laboratories and doctoral projects.
But while Apple continued to build and improve the way he applies AI, more recently, he – as well as other leviathans like Google and Amazon – were considered delay in the last wave of technology. This wave, led by companies like (supported by Microsoft) OPENAI, Midjourney and Stability.ai and their advances in a generative AI – take simple verbal indices and the return of detailed responses based on large quantities of knitted information.
Now we have seen a number of movements of these leviathans to catch up. With google Bard launch and a wave of AI news Out of its major E / S developer eventAn article in March in the The New York Times Detailed how Apple organized an internal event to show the work it was doing and team teams operated in “language -generating concepts”, large language models and other AI tools.
Apple being Apple, without a doubt, he will seek to bring his own approach to the table. A large part of the work with which she does so far, for example, the Visual IA technology has been focused on Treatment and confidentiality on devices And Construction developer tools for the benefit of this.
The apple is Organize its WWDC event focused on developers next monthWhere people will seek to see if it makes announcements on the front generator of AI. In addition to the expected launch of new software for the iPhone and iPad, many have planned that it will finally give details on its Long -awaited AR / VR helmet.
