据消息透露，苹果公司即将关闭位于美国加州圣地亚哥的AI部门，该部门拥有121名员工，主要负责Siri的数据运营工作。据彭博社报道，这支团队被称为“AI数据操作注释团队”，其成员在本周三收到通知，必须在2月底之前决定是否前往得克萨斯州的奥斯汀，与当地的团队合并。如果拒绝调岗，将于4月26日面临解雇。
这一决定被认为是对苹果AI战略的一次重大调整。近年来，苹果一直在加强其在人工智能领域的影响力，但此次关闭加州团队并将员工调往得州，似乎表明苹果正在重新评估其AI团队的布局。
对于员工来说，这一决定带来了巨大的不确定性。他们必须在短时间内做出选择，要么离开家乡前往另一个州，要么面临失业。这对他们个人和家庭来说都是一个巨大的挑战。
苹果公司拒绝对此消息发表评论。但据消息人士透露，苹果正在对其AI部门进行重组，以更好地整合其分散的团队，并提高效率。
In an unexpected move, Apple is shutting down its AI team in San Diego, California, leaving 121 employees with a tough choice: relocate to Austin, Texas, or face termination by April 26th. The team, known as the “AI Data Operations Annotations Team,” was responsible for Siri’s data operations. This decision by Apple is seen as a significant shift in its AI strategy. In recent years, Apple has been strengthening its presence in the AI field, but this closure of the California team and the relocation of employees to Texas suggests that the company is reevaluating its AI team’s layout.
This decision has brought great uncertainty to the employees. They are required to make a choice in a short period of time: either leave their hometown and move to another state or face unemployment. It’s a huge challenge for them and their families.
Apple declined to comment on this matter. However, sources familiar with the matter say that Apple is重组ing its AI department to better integrate its scattered teams and improve efficiency.
