From PC Mag: Apple's AI chief John Giannandrea is stepping down from his position and will be replaced by Amar Subramanya, the former head of engineering for Google's Gemini assistant, the company announced on Monday.
Giannandrea will continue to serve the company in a limited capacity before he retires in spring 2026, including as an advisor on its board.
The change in personnel comes after Apple failed to deliver on its promise of an improved, AI-powered Siri. Some of Siri's AI features announced at WWDC 2024, such as its ability to draw from personal context and to autonomously take action on behalf of users, are yet to roll out.
Apple admitted earlier this year that developing those features was taking longer than expected as they ran into issues with older Siri code. The company, however, has committed to rolling out the features next year, and many expect them to arrive with iOS 26.4.
