  • 据报道,苹果公司在放弃自动驾驶汽车项目后裁员超过600人,主要来自其加州工厂。
  • 此次裁员已于3月28日通知了州就业部门,苹果公司尚未发表评论。
  • 此举与苹果公司避免大规模裁员的历史形成对比,但分析师认为这标志着向人工智能等新兴领域的战略转移。

苹果最近实施了超过600个岗位的裁员,此前据称已终止其自动驾驶汽车计划。

据彭博社报道,这些裁员的主要部分来自加州现已放弃的自动驾驶汽车项目所在地。3月28日,加州就业部门收到通知,计划于5月裁员614名员工。已联系苹果就此事发表官方评论。 另见: 阿尔贝托·普列托.

裁员只会作为最后手段

值得注意的是,这家科技巨头历来避免大规模裁员,这与许多自疫情爆发以来大幅裁员的其他公司不同。去年5月,苹果首席执行官蒂姆·库克在接受CNBC采访时强调,裁员只会作为最后手段。尽管行业普遍裁员,但苹果的裁员幅度明显小于同行。GlobalData估计苹果的全球员工总数约为161,000人。

尽管苹果是全球最有价值的公司,但PP Foresight的行业分析师保罗·佩斯卡托雷强调,“没人能免受裁员影响”。佩斯卡托雷认为,裁员并非出于效率考虑,而是标志着向人工智能等新兴领域的战略转移。

苹果自动驾驶汽车项目的终止在二月份浮出水面

报道称,苹果耗资数十亿美元的自动驾驶汽车项目在二月份已终止,尽管该公司一直未公开承认其存在。据悉,苹果曾大力投资开发不带传统转向机构的完全自动驾驶汽车,但该项目被认为距实现还需多年。 另见: AI芯片通胀:设备制造商受挤压,影响超越数据中心.

同样,由于成本上升,其他行业参与者如 福特 通用汽车也在自动驾驶汽车研究领域有所收敛。据称,苹果打算将其2000人的电动汽车团队的大部分人员重新分配到人工智能相关项目中。此外,据彭博社报道,加州就业报告文件显示,1月份苹果从其圣地亚哥办公室解雇了121名员工,据称将他们重新分配到德克萨斯州奥斯汀,那里是人工智能业务的集中地。
