Apple has now reportedly lost one of its top executives to the famous company, Meta, as both of these companies continue to compete in the field of artificial intelligence. The competition is to go for the best talent in the field of artificial intelligence.
The move highlights how various big tech companies are now in the race to build stronger AI teams and, because of that, lead in the growing AI market.
According to the recent reports, the executive who has been leaving Apple was working in the company’s AI and machine learning division. They have now joined the Meta company, which has been expanding its power in the field of AI research and development projects quickly.
Meta, which is the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has been hiring experts lately from various major tech firms to strengthen its AI technology and, with that, even improve its new products like chatbots, improve the content recommendations, and now even the smart assistants.
Apple has been a company that has been quietly developing its own AI tools and features, especially for devices such as iPhones, Macs, and Siri.
The company has also recently announced that it has started focusing more on generative AI, which means it would help create text, images, or code using machine learning. Losing an experienced leader at such a crucial phase could slow down some of these plans, not for long, but at least for a short time.
Meta, on the other hand, has always been open and clear about its big AI goals. The company has also recently launched several AI-powered features for its famous platforms, like Facebook and Instagram, and it is also building advanced AI systems for its various projects, like virtual and mixed-reality ones.
Hiring talent from various companies, like Apple, also gives Meta an advantage when it comes to growing its AI team faster.
Experts have also said that this competition for AI talent is becoming very intense across the tech industry. Companies like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Apple are now investing properly and heavily in the field of artificial intelligence.
Skilled AI engineers and even the researchers are also in high demand, and many are there who are being offered large salaries and even bonuses if they want to switch companies.
