- Apple is undergoing its biggest personnel shake-up in decades, with senior executives and key engineers leaving the company.
- The exits include the heads of artificial intelligence and interface design, as well as the general counsel and head of governmental affairs, with more changes likely coming.
- The departures are causing concern within the company, with some employees expressing surprise and others worrying about a brain drain, particularly in the area of artificial intelligence.

And more changes are likely coming. Johny Srouji — senior vice president of hardware technologies and one of Apple’s most respected executives — recently told Cook that he is seriously considering leaving in the near future, according to people with knowledge of the matter. Srouji, the architect of Apple’s prized in-house chips effort, has informed colleagues that he intends to join another company if he ultimately departs.
At the same time, AI talent has been fleeing for tech rivals — with Meta Platforms Inc., OpenAI and a variety of startups poaching many of Apple’s engineers. That threatens to hamper the company’s efforts to catch up in artificial intelligence, an area where it’s struggled to make a mark.
