Technology company Apple is known for products such as the iPhone, iPad and Mac computers.
Apple officials told Austin TV station KVUE the company is dissolving a 121-person team that focuses on artificial intelligence, and giving the workers until the end of February to relocate to Austin. Those who refuse will face termination on April 26.
“We're bringing our data operations annotations teams in the U.S. together at our campus in Austin, where a majority of the team is already based. Everyone currently employed will have the opportunity to continue their role with Apple in Austin,” the Cupertino, California-based company said in a statement emailed to KVUE. “We are deeply committed to San Diego where we have grown significantly, and are continuing to hire as we expand our world-class engineering teams.”
The relocating department is responsible for making Apple digital assistant Siri work in multiple languages, and it operates from offices around the world, KVUE reports. Apple said it’s offering relocation stipends to those in San Diego who relocate.
