Apple Overhauls AI Leadership as Siri Face-off Deepens

Apple has shaken up its artificial intelligence leadership team in a move reflecting significant struggles within the division and a growing race against competitors like Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI. John Giannandrea, Apple’s AI chief since 2018, stepped down after a series of embarrassing failures with Siri’s rollout. His replacement is Amar Subramanya, an experienced engineer brought in from Google where he led the Gemini Assistant before joining Apple. This shift signals a strategic change for Apple as they aim to catch up and compete in the AI race that is shaping the future of technology.
