Apple executives compare Google executives' abilities (Apple robbed Google's director of artificial intelligence)

Apple has just poached an AI executive from Google, which could have far-reaching implications.

According to the New York Times, Apple has hired John Giannandrea, a former head of artificial intelligence and search at Google. In a statement in the Times, Cupertino said Jan Nandrea would lead Apple's "machine learning and artificial intelligence strategy"; he would be one of only 16 executives to report directly to CEO Tim Cook.

Just yesterday, the The Infor mation,Payward reported that Giannandria would resign from Google and replace it with JeffDean, a veteran who has worked at Google for 19 years. Giannandrea first joined Google in 2010 after Google acquired MetaWeb and served as CTO there. The startup is trying to make search results more contextual through its vast database of tag data.

This recruitment is particularly important because Apple seems to lag far behind its competitors in the competition for intelligent software driven by artificial intelligence. Siri is Apple's digital assistant to a number of consumer-oriented artificial intelligence technologies, lagging far behind Amazon's Alexa and Google's capable assistant.

At our recent disruption sci-fi conference, the technology crisis talked to Janandria. At the meeting, he talked in detail about how human beings can help computers become smarter, but if we are not careful, we will bring prejudice to them.
