Apple is finally ready to take a big bite out of the generative AI apple. After debuting a lone “Transformer” model-based autocorrect feature on iOS 17, the company is now hinting at a broader AI infusion across its product line. How do we know? Well, according to TechCrunch, Apple’s been on a hiring spree recently, and they’re not looking for your average tech whizzes. They want AI specialists, with job listings indicating they’re working on everything from an AI-based developer experience platform for internal use to a conversational AI platform for customer engagement. The tasks listed in these job ads read like a sci-fi fan’s dream: long-form text generation, summarization, question-answering, and even creating a “human-like conversational agent.” .stk-a7afbf0{box-shadow:0 0 0 2px rgba(120,120,120,0.1) !important}.stk-a7afbf0-container{background-color:#f3f3f3 !important}.stk-a7afbf0-container:before{background-color:#f3f3f3 !important} .stk-fff85bd{margin-left:-20px !important}.stk-fff85bd .stk–svg-wrapper .stk–inner-svg svg:last-child{opacity:0.7 !important}.stk-fff85bd .stk–svg-wrapper .stk–inner-svg svg:last-child,.stk-fff85bd .stk–svg-wrapper .stk–inner-svg svg:last-child :is(g,path,rect,polygon,ellipse){fill:var(–stk-global-color-56583,#911d9c) !important} .stk-75422ff{margin-left:-17px !important}.stk-75422ff .stk-block-text__text{font-size:16px !important;font-weight:300 !important;font-style:normal !important;font-family:”Golos Text”,Sans-serif !important}@media screen and (max-width:1023px){.stk-75422ff .stk-block-text__text{font-size:16px !important}}This group is a collective of hands-on research scientists from a wide variety of fields related to natural language processing.
