Tech giant Apple has made a new move in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) with its acquisition of Canada-based AI company, Darwin AI.
This strategic move is anticipated to bring about substantial advancements in AI technology and its applications across Apple's range of products and services.
The acquisition of Darwin AI by Apple signifies the tech giant's commitment to leveraging AI capabilities to enhance the inspection of components during the manufacturing process.
This move, as reported by Bloomberg, also involves the integration of several key employees from Darwin AI into Apple's artificial intelligence division, with Alexander Wong, a notable researcher from Darwin AI, now leading Apple's AI efforts.
