Apple has reportedly been luring experts from Google in its efforts to catch up with Big Tech companies in the race to develop and deploy high-level AI models.
Apple has reportedly been snatching up experts from Google in an effort to build out its own team of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning experts.
According to a report from the Financial Times (FT) on April 30, Apple has been luring “dozens” of these experts in a “hiring spree” over the past year, specifically from Google. The report said that Apple has attracted approximately 36 AI specialists from Google since 2018.
In addition to trying to form top teams of AI experts, Apple has also acquired two local AI start-ups in Zurich, Switzerland, which led it to build a “secretive” laboratory in the area which it calls “Vision Lab.”
