Hiring the first team of engineers to design the iPhone, he didn’t even tell them about the nature of future work. Similarly, former CTO of Adobe Kevin Lynch did not even know that he has to deal with the Apple Watch, has not yet put his signature in the employment contract.

Apple has always been one of the most secretive participants in the IT-market, which kept its development secret. However, the company was forced to change the usual approach to research in order to attract new prospective employees.

Experts in the field of artificial intelligence want to share the results of their work public and to contribute to the development of science. Apple policy in which any studies are trade secrets of the company, simply discourages talented scientists. In addition, to achieve significant results in this field it is very important to interact with other market participants.
