Apple names Amar Subramanya new VP of AI, replacing John Giannandrea

Apple on Monday named veteran researcher Amar ​Subramanya as its vice president of AI,‌ replacing John Giannandrea. Apple — a laggard in the AI ‌race — has been slow to add AI features to its products in comparison to rivals such as Samsung Electronics, which have been quicker ⁠to refresh their ‌devices with AI features. Subramanya will lead critical areas, including Apple Foundation Models,‍ ML research and will report to software chief Craig Federighi.
