Apple's AI development is facing setbacks. The company's delayed Personalized Siri feature and lack of major AI announcements at WWDC highlight struggles in this area. Meta has poached Apple's top AI engineer, Ruoming Pang, with a multi-million dollar deal, further impacting Apple's AI efforts. This follows a trend of Apple's AI employees considering offers from competitors due to low morale and delayed projects. Apple may need to aggressively recruit top talent, mirroring Meta's approach, to catch up with competitors like Google and Samsung in the AI race.
