Just now, Apple’s AI move changed the rules for all iPhone users. Apple has just ramped up its AI plans after buying Canadian startup Darwin AI. It comes just months before the release of the iPhone maker’s iOS 18 software and as Apple makes its first major push into generative AI this year.
Apple bought Darwin AI earlier this year, and the firm’s employees have joined the iPhone maker’s AI division, according to Bloomberg, which cites “people with knowledge of the matter, who asked not to be identified because the deal hasn’t been announced.”
Just now, Apple’s AI move changed the rules for all iPhone users. Ahead of the iOS 18 launch, which is already earmarked for a number of cool, AI enabled features, Bloomberg describes how DarwinAI makes technology that can “inspect components during the manufacturing process.”
Another advantage of DarwinAI that will benefit Apple specifically is the company has developed tech that can make AI systems smaller and faster. “That could be helpful to Apple, which is focused on running AI on devices rather than entirely in the cloud,”
