Apple has reduced daily artificial intelligence spending allowances for some engineers from $300 to $200 as part of a broader cost-control effort, Bloomberg News reported.
The move follows CEO John Ternus's push for a leaner organisation, amid a 32 per cent increase in research and development expenses to $45.8 billion this fiscal year.
Staff reactions are mixed, with some saying the existing allowance was rarely fully utilised, while others fear broader cost-cutting and potential layoffs.
Similar restrictions are emerging across the technology sector, with Microsoft, Tesla and Uber also introducing limits on employee AI spending.
