Apple Wants to Use Google's Gemini to Support AI Features on iPhone

Apple is finally starting to seriously explore generative artificial intelligence (AI) technology, after being far behind Microsoft and Google.

Quoting a Bloomberg report, Saturday (16/3/2024), Apple officially acquired an AI startup based in Canada, namely DarwinAI.

DarwinAI itself is a small startup with a team of tens of people, but has made brilliant achievements in developing AI technology.

It is stated that this technology made by DarwinAI can be used for visual inspection if manufacturing components have defects or errors.

This technology made by DarwinAI is able to detect this with high precision, thereby optimizing the production process and increasing efficiency.

Possibly, Apple is interested in DarwinAI to simplify their production to make it more efficient. With this, companies can save money.

This acquisition marks a significant step for the Cupertino, US-based company in strengthening its position in the AI ​​space.

As an initial step in this acquisition, Apple has reportedly included DarwinAI staff in its own AI team, including one of the founders of the DarwinAI startup, Alexander Wong.
