Machine Learning and AI
Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other’s ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It’s the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you’ll do more than join something — you’ll add something. Apple’s AI and Machine Learning Communications team is focused on inspiring, informing and connecting Apple employees with the knowledge and tools for working in Machine Learning. Our team works to deliver exceptional content in many forms—events, video, text, graphic design, motion, and more. We are excited by the many ways we can create inspiring and memorable content and experiences.
