The low morale at Apple has meant that many of its AI researchers have gladly accepted Meta’s offers.
There has been a massive problem plaguing Apple for a while now: its AI researchers keep getting scooped up by Meta. According to industry insider Mark Gurman’s newsletter Power On, this brain drain from Apple is very unlikely to end anytime soon, unless the company pays its employees what Meta is offering.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is convinced of two things: AR glasses are the future, and AI will be the backbone of said glasses. As such, Meta has invested billions of Dollars into XR (Extended Reality) over the last few years, and is now doing the same for Artificial Intelligence.
It’s Apple that is suffering, as now a fifth AI researcher has left the company to join Meta’s Superintelligence Labs group.
