appleThe company took another step in the AI space earlier this year with the successful acquisition of theDarwin AI Companies, further enhancing its strength in the field of artificial intelligence.
DarwinAI, a Waterloo, Ontario, Canada-based startup, has been focusing on two core technologies since its inception in 2017:one, the use of AI technology to inspect parts in the manufacturing process, and the other, the building of smaller, more efficient AI systems through machine learning.
DarwinAI managed to secure $6 million in funding in December 2020, bringing the company's total funding to $15.5 million in its five years of existence, according to Communitech, a Canadian startup community.
For this acquisition, Apple told the media that the acquisition of small technology companies is part of its regular investment behavior, but did not disclose the specific purpose or plans for the acquisition.
However, judging from DarwinAI's technological prowess and Apple's continued investment in AI, this acquisition will breathe new life into Apple's development in the field of artificial intelligence.
