Apple reportedly planning executive shake-up to address Siri delays
Apple was slower than most Big Tech firms to jump on the generative AI hype train, but it finally got there with the release of Apple Intelligence. The first components of Apple’s AI rolled out last year, but it’s going to take a bit longer for one of the most hotly anticipated features. After announcing that the improved Siri was delayed until 2026, Apple has reportedly begun an uncharacteristic reorganization of its executive ranks. The new report from Bloomberg claims that Apple hopes to get its AI-backed Siri efforts back on track after months of delays. The updated assistant is supposed to leverage on-device data to improve personal context to make interactions more natural and work across apps. CEO Tim Cook has apparently become dissatisfied with John Giannandrea, the company’s AI head. Apple leadership discussed the lagging Siri AI features at length during a recent summit, and the result is that Giannandrea will no longer be overseeing Siri development. In the coming days, Apple is expected to tell employees that Vision Pro creator Mike Rockwell will be stepping in to take over development of the next-gen Siri. This will remove Apple’s troubled virtual assistant completely from Giannandrea’s oversight, leaving him to work on AI research and testing initiatives. Apple’s Vision Products Group, which is responsible for developing the company’s VR headsets, will be managed by Rockwell deputy Paul Meade going forward. Read full article Comments
Racer with paraplegia successfully test drives Corvette with hand controls
Robert Wickens was one of motorsport’s rising stars when his life was permanently altered in a crash that paralyzed him from the chest down in 2018. Ever since, Wickens has said that his goal is to return to compete in the sport at the top level, and that looks set to happen early next month in Long Beach, California, following a successful test of his hand control-equipped Corvette GT3.R race car earlier this week. The day-and-a-half test at Sebring in Florida wasn’t Wickens’ first time in a race car since his crash. In 2021 he tested a less-powerful front-wheel drive Hyundai Veloster N TCR car and competed in the Michelin Pilot Challenge series for Bryan Herta Autosport, winning the championship in 2023 with his teammate Harry Gottsacker in the newer Elantra N TCR car. And last year, we bumped into him in Portland, Oregon, ahead of his test in the Formula E Gen3 Evo car. Read full article Comments
