Apple forms secretive AI lab in Zurich, hiring 36 ex-Google experts to target advanced AI development: Report
Apple has assembled a team of artificial intelligence experts from Google in a secretive European laboratory in Zurich, according to the Financial Times. Apple's primary AI development centers are located in California and Seattle, but the Zurich lab reportedly represents the company's increased commitment to AI. According to Ruslan Salakhutdinov from Carnegie Mellon University, who has connections to Apple through his startup Perpetual Machines, Apple's delay can be attributed to a cautious approach to AI development. Apple's AI ambitions are expected to materialize in the upcoming iOS 18 update, introducing generative AI features to various applications, including Siri, Spotlight, Shortcuts, Apple Music, Messages, Health, Keynote, Numbers, and Pages. While the exact details of Apple's Vision Lab in Zurich remain under wraps, the hiring of top talent and the company's acquisitions in the AI space suggest a strong push toward advanced AI technology.
