Along the year, Apple acquires various companies, companies that finally and in the most of occasions integrates in the services of the company. As usual, Apple only confirms the purchase of companies but never informed of the reason for the purchase, so it means we have to start to speculate about the reason for the purchase of a company or other. The last company that purchased Apple is Turi, a startup focused on artificial intelligence and has paid for her more than $ 200 million. At the moment the company continue as hitherto until Apple dedicated that it is time to deploy its technology in the services of Cupertino.
Turi is a company, based in Seattle and whose CEO Carlos Guestrin is an expert in the field of artificial intelligence, is focused on the development of intelligent appliances able to think if same and learn automatically. Turi is the creator of the tool GraphLab Create that us allows adding functionality of intelligence artificial to different applications. The Pandora streaming music service, is one of the companies that makes use of this tool to create recommendations to users, so one applications that Apple could make this company could be at Apple Music, but could also be a very important support for the virtual assistant Siri, for the future Apple Car…
The latest companies (Flyby Media, LegbaCore, Emotient, VocallQ…) that the guys at Cupertino have acquired us show the interest of the company by the artificial intelligence but also is also focusing its interest in virtual reality, a field in which at the moment has not gotten the head but claimed Tim Cook a few weeks ago in an interview, is an interesting field for the future. At the moment the company’s employees will continue to work in Seattle, where Apple has increased its presence in the past five years.
