Apple now joins the ranks of other tech companies like Meta and OpenAI, which have also been sued over their use of copyrighted material to train AI systems. (Disclosure: Ziff Davis, Mashable’s parent company, in April filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.)

The AKI team is central to a major Siri revamp planned for March, part of Apple’s broader effort to revive its struggling AI operations.

Apple has unveiled the new Vision Pro with an M5 chip, improved performance, advanced AI features, enhanced comfort, and longer battery life — starting at $3,499 and launching October 22.

John Sculley suggested CEO Tim Cook’s successor should focus less on apps, and more on agentic AI to compete with OpenAI.

Apple's Ke Yang, the newly tapped executive leading an effort to develop a ChatGPT-like AI-driven web search, is stepping down to join Meta, Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday, citing people with knowledge of the matter.

Apple unveils EPICACHE, a breakthrough AI memory system that reduces chatbot costs by up to 85%—transforming enterprise-scale conversations with faster, more efficient performance.

Ke Yang was appointed as head of the unit just weeks ago, reporting directly to SVP of AI and machine learning (ML) John Giannandrea.
