We don't typically cover executive moves at CNET, but this one might pique your curiosity: Apple has poached Google's former head of AI and search to help fix Apple's Siri voice assistant.<\/p>\n

Technically, the poaching part happened three months ago, but on Tuesday the other shoe has dropped: As spotted by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman<\/a>, Apple's Leadership page now lists<\/a> Giannandrea as "Apple's chief of machine learning and AI strategy." The page specifically says he's responsible for Siri, as well as Apple's Core ML machine-learning tech<\/a> teams. <\/p>\n

Notably, Giannandrea reports directly to Apple CEO Tim Cook.<\/p>\n

If you ask CNET's reviewers \u2014 or honestly, many other reviewers across the industry \u2014 Siri could kinda use some work. "Siri has a lot of maturing to do before it can compete with Alexa or Google Assistant," Megan Wollerton wrote in her review of the Apple HomePod<\/a>. <\/p>\n

"The underlying [Google Assistant] platform is so much more expansive, accurate and knowledgeable than Siri," Jessica Dolcourt said in our Android Oreo vs. iOS 11 shootout<\/a> last August.<\/p>\n

According to Strategy Analytics, Apple's HomePod did manage to obtain 6 percent of global marketshare<\/a> for smart speakers in the first quarter of 2018, however.<\/p>\n

Apple declined to comment.<\/p>\n
