Apple on AI war path! Acquires 21 AI startups, staff hirings on fire, $1 bn spend on cards
Ever since ChatGPT burst onto the surface in 2022, artificial intelligence (AI) has become a red-hot topic. There have been endless debates on whether the opportunities that have arisen courtesy of AI outweigh the obstacles raised by this new technology. But, this dilemma hasn't stopped big tech companies from investing in it. From AI chatbots to tools that can be used for various purposes including image generation, and code interpretation, we've already seen mass adoption of AI. It has even reached smartphones, with Google and Samsung rolling out smartphones with multiple AI features. However, Apple, the world's top smartphone maker, has stayed aloof from it so far, but not anymore! A new report suggests Apple has been quietly making acquisitions, staff hires and increasing its investment to bolster its AI capabilities.
