Apple is reducing employee budgets for artificial intelligence usage as part of a cost-cutting effort, even as the company seeks to put AI at the center of its operations, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.
He says the tech giant has lowered the daily spending cap for some engineers using AI models and is planning further cuts for some engineering teams, potentially reducing their daily allowances to as little as $100. Last month, Apple quietly lowered the daily spending cap for some engineers using AI models to $200 from $300, Gurman says, quoting unnamed “people with knowledge of the matter.”
“The changes reflect a broader shift across the technology industry, where companies are increasingly scrutinizing the costs of AI and seeking to control spending while still encouraging employees to incorporate AI into their daily work,” says Gurman.
