John Ternus is already overhauling Apple operations using AI, per report

John Ternus is Apple’s incoming CEO, and according to a Bloomberg report, he has already started to overhaul Apple’s internal operations using AI.

Ternus recently introduced ‘new AI platform’ at Apple, with plans for more AI deployments to come

Last night, a new report on incoming CEO John Ternus called the Apple veteran a decisive leader who is often led more by instinct than consensus.

And some of that initiative-taking in leadership decisions, it seems, is already focused on integrating AI more deeply into Apple’s internal operations.

Mark Gurman writes at Bloomberg:

Earlier this month, Ternus overhauled the hardware engineering organization around what he calls a new AI platform designed to speed up product development and improve device quality. It’s indicative of his plan to deploy AI quickly throughout the company to improve its operations.

No details are shared on exactly what this “new AI platform” is, but it’s an intriguing development nonetheless.

Gurman has reported before that Apple relies heavily on Anthropic for various facets of product development. Otherwise though, not much has been reported about the implementation of AI internally at the company.

It sounds like Ternus plans to accelerate the integration of AI systems and tools company-wide at Apple. And the recent AI platform debut in the hardware division is just the start.
