Apple posts about a dozen job ads seeking experts in generative AI

Apple has posted at least a dozen job ads on its career page seeking experts in generative AI, reports TechCrunch

Specifically, it’s looking for machine learning specialists “passionate about building extraordinary autonomous systems” in the field. The job ads (some of which seem to cover the same role, or are calling for multiple applicants) first started appearing April 27, with the most recent of them getting published earlier this week, notes TechCrunch.

In March it was reported that Apple is testing AI (artificial intelligence) features (think ChatGPT) that could eventually come to Siri, according to The New York Times (a subscription is also required to read this article).

Apple engineers, including members of the ‌Siri‌ team, have reportedly been testing language-generation concepts “every week” in response to the rise of chatbots like ChatGPT, the article adds. ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence chatbot developed by OpenAI and launched in November 2022. It is built on top of OpenAI’s GPT-3 family of large language models and has been fine-tuned using both supervised and reinforcement learning techniques.
