New Delhi: Job openings at Apple jumped 23% month-on-month in May as iPhone makers look to generative artificial intelligence (AI) and ramp up adoption in the artificial intelligence space. Global Data said Tuesday that its peers have announced job cuts.
“…this marks a potential leap into the realm of generative AI, in line with significant progress made by its peers,” said GlobalData.
Generative AI refers to AI systems that can generate new data such as text, audio, or video based on instructions from a user. Generative AI companies include OpenAI, backed by Microsoft, which developed ChatGPT chatbots, Cohere, and more. Technology companies such as Microsoft and Google have also started to introduce AI enhancements into their products and services to beat their rivals.
Shara Sriprada, business fundamentals analyst at GlobalData, said the number of job openings by Alphabet and Amazon declined in May 2023 compared to the previous month.
GlobalData said in its analysis that Apple’s hiring revolves primarily around the United States, which accounted for more than 75% of the total number of job postings in May, but only one of the jobs posted in the UK. He said he is also focusing on departmental areas. Israel, and Japan.
In the UK, Apple posts jobs for RTL Design Engineers, Apple News, and the Apple Services Academy. Similarly, in Israel, the company is posting job openings for physical design engineers, CAD engineers, imaging and sensing technology groups, among others, the technology research firm said. In Japan, the company posts jobs related to Apple Pay, physical design engineers, and Apple Services Academy.
According to GlobalData, Apple is looking to hire AI/ML engineers in countries such as the US, Ireland, Singapore, and China.
For example, in the United States, the role of “Machine Learning Engineer – Generative AI” is to leverage innovative generative models to build basic applications, considering implementation of ML algorithms to process data in various Apple products. It is said that
Separately, the Generative AI role “Proactive Intelligence, Applied Research Scientist — Generative AI” integrates ML/RL frameworks into the product to train agents at scale and leverages cloud services to train agents We are looking into enabling scalable and distributed training/simulation that predicts the behavior of According to GlobalData, it is multimodal, especially via techniques such as Monte Carlo methods, TD learning, and policy approximation.
“Based on Apple’s strong recruiting efforts in the AI space, the company appears poised to follow in the footsteps of its peers who have made significant progress in this area and embrace generative AI,” said Sri Prada. concluded.
