Apple has acquired Q.ai, an Israeli startup working on artificial intelligence technology for audio, reports Reuters. Q.ai’s founding team will join Apple, including CEO Aviad Maizels, who previously founded three-dimensional sensing firm PrimeSense and sold it to Apple in 2013. According to Apple, Q.ai develops innovative machine learning applications designed to transform audio and communication experiences, including technology that enables whisper-like speech and improves audio performance in challenging environments.
