Samsung AI has hired an expert from Apple's Siri
Samsung Electronics hired Murat Akbacak, former head of the Apple Siri project, to join its North American artificial intelligence team and establish a new AI center. Samsung and Apple are fiercely competing in the AI field, which will drive rapid industry development in the future
Recently, Samsung Electronics announced a major personnel adjustment by hiring senior expert Murat Akbacak, who previously served as the head of the Siri project at Apple, to lead its North American artificial intelligence team.
According to Bloomberg, Samsung Electronics is merging its two artificial intelligence research centers located in Toronto and Mountain View, California, to establish a new North America AI Center. This move aims to optimize resource allocation, improve operational efficiency, and further strengthen Samsung's research and development capabilities in artificial intelligence technology.
Akbacak's joining has attracted widespread attention in the industry. As the former head of the Siri project at Apple, he brings rich experience and outstanding leadership in personalization, contextualization, conversational, and multimodal artificial intelligence. His addition is seen as an important signal of Samsung's efforts in the field of artificial intelligence, with the potential to bring new breakthroughs to Samsung's AI technology.
The competition between Samsung and Apple in the field of artificial intelligence has been intensifying. Apple introduced "Apple Intelligence" at its annual WWDC conference, utilizing OpenAI's GPT-4o model to further enhance the intelligence level of Siri. Apple sees AI as the hub connecting various applications within the phone, aiming to provide users with a seamless intelligent experience.
In contrast, Samsung's AI strategy is somewhat different. Samsung's Galaxy AI focuses more on specific tasks such as language translation and image editing. Samsung believes that AI technology should focus on improving user communication and productivity efficiency.
Although Apple and Samsung have different philosophies in the application of AI technology, both companies are constantly exploring and innovating to enhance the user experience of smartphones. With the intensifying competition between Samsung and Apple in the field of AI, we can expect to see more innovative applications of artificial intelligence technology in the future, which will also drive rapid development in the entire industry.
