Apple continues to buy technologies that will help it improve its own products. At this time, the manufacturer of iPhones has acquired canadian startup Inductiv, specializing in the development of artificial intelligence.
representatives of the firm Tim cook reiterated to Bloomberg the fact of the transaction, without specifying the amount and other details. In a press-service escaped with the standard excuse that “Apple from time to time becomes a technology company, but we are not discussing the purpose of the purchases and our plans.”
In Inductiv has created a system that uses artificial intelligence to detect and correct data errors, which in turn improves the performance of machine learning algorithms. Technology, for example, will reduce the likelihood that the “extra” information will knock Siri off.
