Rodriguez/Getty Images) Every Wednesday, Senior Writer Allison Hoffman recaps the previous night’s episode of the glory that is Millionaire Matchmaker. Back in January, Microsoft said that it’s no longer attempting to compete with Alexa or Google Assistant in areas like smart speakers with Cortana but instead will reposition the AI assistant more like a skill that can be embedded in services.Patti’s other client is Mateo Stasior, a Microsoft millionaire who comes to Patti with a laundry list of qualities he needs in his future wife. Microsoft has also been changing its own AI strategy. Time will tell if Apple can compete with the likes of Google in the long-term. While admirable, AI requires large amounts of data to be trained on. While behind Google Assistant, Siri was in second place ahead of Alexa with 83.1 percent of questions answered correctly.Īpple has long been seen as at a disadvantage in AI due to its strict stance on protecting user privacy. In an article yesterday, AI News reported on an IQ test by Loup Ventures. However, Siri has been making significant improvements under Giannandrea’s leadership. During WWDC earlier this year, Apple announced the ML Core 13 framework which is the first to support both inference and training directly on-device. Under Giannandrea, Apple has been revamping its AI strategy not just with Siri but across the company’s products. For example, Apple stole Google’s former head of search and AI, John Giannandrea, last year to oversee Cupertino’s machine learning and AI strategy. Of course, Microsoft’s hiring of Stasior from Apple is all part of the Silicon Valley talent trading. Having also held the positions of director of search and navigation at Amazon, director of advanced development at AltaVista, senior developer at Oracle Corporation, and researcher and developer at MIT, Stasior brings a vast amount of experience to Microsoft. Stasior worked at Apple for almost a decade. Stasior will now join Microsoft later this month as corporate vice president and will report to CTO Kevin Scott. Microsoft has poached former Siri chief Bill Stasior from Apple to join the company’s artificial intelligence division.Īlthough Apple was his most recent employer, Stasior actually left the company in May.
