Apple has acquired Israeli startup Q.ai, a company that is working to apply artificial intelligence technology to audio, reports Reuters.
Q.ai CEO Aviad Maizels had another Israeli startup, PrimeSense, acquired by Apple in 2013.
Apple used that company’s technology to develop Face ID, which was first used on the iPhone X in 2017.
Q.ai’s founding team, Maizels, Yonatan Wexler, and Avi Barliya, will join Apple.
“We’re thrilled to acquire the company, with Aviad at the helm, and are even more excited for what’s to come.”
