01:04 PM EST, 01/24/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Apple ( AAPL ) has reassigned longtime executive Kim Vorrath, known for managing complex products, to its artificial intelligence and machine learning division, Bloomberg News reported Friday, citing sources with knowledge of the matter.

Vorrath, an Apple ( AAPL ) veteran of 36 years, will serve under AI chief John Giannandrea, the sources said.
