Apple has made significant investments in AI through its 'Apple Intelligence' platform, partnerships with OpenAI (ChatGPT) and Google (Gemini), and internal development of the 'Ajax' large language model framework, representing a measured but accelerating integration of generative AI across its products and services. The company maintains a strong emphasis on on-device processing, privacy, and responsible AI, and has signed on to Biden-era responsible AI guidelines. Small, targeted layoffs have been reported in sales, services (Apple News/Books), and some AI research roles, but no causal link between AI adoption and these workforce reductions has been evidenced. Apple has resisted shareholder calls for fuller transparency about its AI usage in business operations, citing competitive sensitivity, creating a selective rather than fully transparent public posture.
