Apple has appointed Amar Subramanya as Vice President of AI, following John Giannandrea's decision to retire in spring 2026. Giannandrea will remain as an adviser until his departure. Subramanya will report to Craig Federighi and focus on Apple Foundation Models, machine learning research, and AI safety and evaluation.

Amar Subramanya joins Apple with over 20 years of experience in AI systems development and management. He previously served as Corporate Vice President of AI at Microsoft, where he contributed to foundation models for Microsoft Copilot. Prior to that, he spent 16 years at Google, eventually becoming Vice President of Engineering and leading engineering for Gemini, Google's primary generative AI system. He holds a degree in electronics and communications engineering from Bangalore University and a PhD in computer science from the University of Washington, specializing in semi-supervised learning and graphical models.

Apple aims to enhance its AI capabilities as competitors advance in generative AI and conversational assistants. The company has historically prioritized on-device processing and privacy. Subramanya's expertise is expected to accelerate the development of Apple Intelligence features while maintaining privacy standards. Craig Federighi will expand his oversight, supported by Subramanya's guidance, to strengthen Apple's position in AI advancements.
