消息称,苹果公司决定关闭其位于加州圣地亚哥的人工智能部门,原因是进行业务重组。该AI团队拥有121名员工,主要负责Siri语音助手的数据标注工作。据报道,苹果已在本周三通知员工,要求他们在2月底前决定是否调往得州奥斯汀的另一个团队,否则将在4月26日被解雇。
这一决定引发外界广泛关注。一些分析人士指出,苹果此举意味着公司AI业务发展放缓,也显示出其在人工智能人才争夺中处于弱势。同时,有消息称,部分员工对被迫调动工作地点表示不满。
尽管如此,业内人士认为,苹果仍将继续大力发展AI技术,这可能只是业务调整的正常举措。苹果发言人尚未对此事作出回应。
Title: Apple’s closure of California AI team draws attention
Keywords: Apple, AI team, layoffs
News content: It is reported that Apple has decided to close its artificial intelligence department in San Diego, California due to business restructuring. The AI team has 121 employees and is mainly responsible for data annotation work for Siri voice assistant. According to reports, Apple notified employees this Wednesday that they must decide whether to transfer to another team in Austin, Texas by the end of February, otherwise they will be laid off on April 26.
This decision has aroused widespread concern outside. Some analysts pointed out that this move by Apple means that the development of the company’s AI business has slowed down, and it also shows that it is at a disadvantage in the competition for AI talents. At the same time, there are rumors that some employees are dissatisfied with being forced to change their workplace.
Nevertheless, industry insiders believe that Apple will continue to vigorously develop AI technology, and this may only be a normal business adjustment measure. Apple spokesman has not yet responded to this matter.
