Who sees the recent statements by Tim Cook, CEOChief executive officeror executive director.”>1 and Appleregarding AI technologies like the ChatGPT you might think that the Cupertino giant is not yet very interested in this type of novelty. Earlier, we commented that Apple would have even restricted the use of these generative AIs for some of its employees.
Well then, as noted by TechCrunchthis all seems to be just caution on the part of Apple, since the company has, since March, opened several job openings for specialists in this area – which are spread across the cities of San Diego, Seattle and the San Francisco Bay Area .
At the moment, there are at least 88 opportunities related to open generative AIs no site da Apple — many of which opened this month — with a special focus on visual applications. There are openings for teams like Integrated System Experience, Input Experience for Natural Language Processing (NLP), Research and Development for Machine Learning and for the Technology Development Group.
The descriptions of some of the vacancies mention applications of generative AI for computational photography, image and video editing, avatar generation, etc. Even so, it is still not possible to know what exactly these people will have to work on once these vacancies are filled.
Recently, it is worth remembering, a report by the The Information revealed how Siri has been lagging behind in the virtual assistant race, becoming a laughing stock even among Apple employees. Although the company still seems to insist on another approach for its virtual assistant, it is quite possible that these vacancies are precisely to bring it closer to its rivals with the help of AI.
Still according to TechCrunch, Apple’s biggest goal at the moment for generative AIs would be to make this type of technology run locally, eliminating any internet connection — which would be better for user privacy. The company would also be working on tools for developers that use this type of technology.
Asked regarding these vacancies, Apple has not (yet) issued a response.
