Ian Goodfellow, Apple’s director of machine learning, is leaving the company due to its return to work policy. In a note to staff, he said “I believe strongly that more flexibility would have been the best policy for my team.” He was likely the company’s most cited ML expert.

The carefree promise of working from anywhere is far easier to realise if you don’t have actual cares. Children need to go to school; partners may not be able to work remotely and have careers of their own to manage econ.st/3KQAibR

Glad Apple is holding firm. The advantages of collaboration be worth it in the long run

What does Apple use machine learning for except maybe fraud detection? Apple Music's recommendation engine is objectively terrible. AppStore recommendations seem to be curated. Siri suggestions are basic. It sucks to lose talent but hardly a huge hit for Apple.

Apple photos have object and people detection. That is ML. They are probably doing user profiling based on the apps installed in the phone. Not to mention marketing and tons of other stuff.
