Sometimes, bosses and team leaders get shifted over to new places in a company for better or worse, and this is what happened at everyone\u2019s favorite fruit vendor. Apple put Mike Rockwell, the head of the Vision Pro department, in charge of the AI team.<br \/>\nIt seems that there\u2019s trouble in paradise, as the world\u2019s most valuable company is struggling in some areas. For starters, the company is still putting on a brave face after the Apple Vision Pro flopped hard last year. Be that as it may, it\u2019s still sending out updates to the platform. However, as bad as things are for its XR division, they seem to be worse for the AI division.<br \/>\nApple promised us some exciting an innovative AI features to come to iOS. However, users have been met with delay after delay after delay. Right now, iOS 18, which was supposed to be Apple\u2019s grand entrance into the AI space (with fireworks firing in the background and loud rock music playing), but it\u2019s nothing more than a typical iOS version with a few AI features sprinkled in.<br \/>\nSo, it\u2019s funny that these two departments are the ones getting the changes in power.<br \/>\nApple places Mike Rockwell as the head of the AI team<br \/>\nApple\u2019s core vision for AI was to create AI for the ages, not take ages to create AI. This is happening for the company, unfortunately. The bulk of the grandiose AI features are still being developed in Apple\u2019s labs. Right now, the only AI features that Apple has are features that just about every other AI suite has. There are image generation, image editing, text generation, text summarization, and text refinement features. The only thing that Apple has that other companies don\u2019t is the notification summarization feature, and that one\u2019s plagued with inaccurate results.<br \/>\nAs such, it looks like Tim Cook has had it. According to a report from Bloomberg, The Apple CEO has lost confidence in John Giannandrea\u2019s (the current AI leader) ability to lead the AI team. There was a rather tense Siri team meeting where senior Apple director Robby Walker called the situation \u201cugly\u201d.<br \/>\nAs such, Giannandrea will no longer lead the AI team at Apple. Rockwell will take his place, and Apple hopes that this shake-up will help move the company\u2019s AI along. We don\u2019t know where Giannandrea will go next in Apple or if he was let go from the company.<br \/>\nAs for the Vision Pro department, Paule Meade will take over as the lead. He was one of the executives who worked under Rockwell.<br \/>\nThe post An Apple switch-up puts the XR boss in charge of AI appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/apple-store-logo-AM-AH-jpg.jpg\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Large corporations are no strangers to shifts in power.
