Apple needs good AI acquisition hires – Computerworld

The thing is, this is all about scale. That means that even if Apple does recruit that village of AI experts, the acceleration in demand for AI is going to continue, and it will probably need to recruit a second village full a few weeks later. Again, it won’t be alone. That need for skill is an imperative forcing tech firms (most likely including OpenAI, and certainly including Apple) to focus their efforts on specific goals when building new generative AI (genAI) services. While effective management within scarcity has always been par for the course — Apple is really good at this — those companies who best approach development within those constraints will be best placed to make it all the way to that looming AI mountain and climb to the top. 

All the same, to outsiders focused on AI-related hype, the reality is that the challenges facing industry evolution mean innovation will soon begin to seem incremental, rather than revolutionary, as the “move fast, break things,” approach is replaced by a more business-like, objective, and slow strategic resource allocation-driven approach. Those who break through the noise to deliver the highest value tools and services will be those that win this AI space race.

As long as they can get the staff.
