The topic Former AI boss John Giannandrea officially leaving Apple this week after \u2018resting\u2026<\/strong> is currently the subject of lively discussion \u2014 readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.<\/p>\n

This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies\u2019 decisions and competitors\u2019 reactions can quickly change the picture.<\/p>\n

John Giannandrea\u2019s time at Apple is officially coming to an end this week. Giannandrea joined Apple in 2018 after eight years at Google to head the company\u2019s machine learning and AI strategy.<\/p>\n

In December of last year, however, Apple announced that Giannandrea was stepping down from his position and would serve as an advisor to the company before fully departing in spring of 2026.<\/p>\n

Gurman reports that Giannandrea\u2019s plan post-Apple is to \u201cjoin some company boards and do advising work in the startup world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Apple has dramatically shaken up its AI teams and organization in the fallout of the Apple Intelligence debut. Alongside the announcement of Giannandrea\u2019s departure in December, Apple also announced it had hired Amar Subramanya to serve as its VP of AI, reporting to Craig Federighi. Subramanya spent 16 years at Google and five months at Microsoft before joining Apple.<\/p>\n

Giannandrea had control of the Siri team stripped in March 2025 after Tim Cook reportedly \u201clost confidence\u201d in his ability to \u201cexecute on product development.\u201d As it stands right now, Siri is led by Mike Rockwell inside Apple, while Giannandrea\u2019s other responsibilities have been taken over by a combination of Craig Federighi, Eddy Cue, and Sabih Khan.<\/p>\n

Apple is set to announce major new AI and Siri features as part of iOS 27 at WWDC in just two months. These will mark the first major features since Federighi took charge and Apple signed its deal with Google to use Gemini models to power new AI features.<\/p>\n
