🍎🔍 Apple is searching for talented individuals in generative AI!

May 19 2023 | AI News

Apple is seeking experts in generative AI, having posted at least 12 job adverts on its site. The company is looking for machine learning specialists focused on autonomous systems, particularly those skilled in “visual generative modelling to power applications across computational photography, image and video editing, 3D shape and motion reconstruction, [and] avatar generation”. The adverts follow recent mixed signals from CEO Tim Cook regarding the company’s position on generative AI: during Q2 earnings calls, he refrained from answering specific questions but said the company would be “deliberate and thoughtful” in its approach.

What does it mean?

Generative AI: a type of artificial intelligence in which the machine creates its own data and can learn and adapt from it without being explicitly pre-programmed.
Machine learning: a branch of artificial intelligence that enables machines to automatically learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed.
Autonomous systems: systems or machines that can operate without human intervention or control.
Visual generative modelling: a process of creating visual outputs such as images or videos using computer software algorithms.
Computational photography: the use of computation to enable or enhance digital photography.
3D shape and motion reconstruction: the process of creating a digital model of a physical object or scene in 3D space using photos or videos.
Avatar generation: the creation of computer-generated characters that can interact with humans or other virtual characters.
