Question 1

Is Apple really using AI?

Accepted Answer

Apple scores 59/100 on the AI Adoption Index, tier “Pilot purgatory”: Licences bought. Pilot launched. Pilot still running. Nothing has shipped. Apple restricted ChatGPT and Copilot for staff, but leaked CLAUDE.md files in its Support app (May 2026) show engineers using Claude Code internally.

Question 2

How is Apple’s AI adoption score calculated?

Accepted Answer

Five questions answered by employees, one tap each: daily use (30%), AI in the product (20%), what leadership does (20%), access to tools (15%) and enablement (15%). Until someone inside rates, companies are scored from what they have said on the record, with sources linked.

Question 3

Can I rate Apple?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Anyone who works at Apple can rate their own team anonymously in about twenty seconds, no account needed. Each team’s score is shown separately.
