Overview

• Bloomberg reports that Ke Yang, promoted only weeks ago to run Apple’s Answers, Knowledge and Information team, has exited to join Meta.
• AKI is building a web-connected “answer engine” to power new Siri capabilities, a core element of a Siri overhaul reported for March 2026.
• Following Yang’s departure, the AKI group will reportedly report to Benoit Dupin, who oversees Apple’s machine-learning cloud infrastructure.
• Roughly a dozen Apple AI researchers have left this year, with multiple figures—including Ruoming Pang, Frank Chu, and Chong Wang—joining Meta’s Superintelligence Labs.
• Apple and Meta have not commented publicly on Yang’s move, as observers note near‑term execution risks for Apple’s Siri and search roadmap.
