Apple joins 'Partnership on AI'

The non-profit organization had been created in late September 2016 by Amazon, DeepMind/Google, Facebook, IBM, and Microsoft to further public understanding of artificial intelligence and devise best practices on associated technologies. Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), while involved with the operation prior to original announcement, today formally joins as one of its founding members. More details (how others can join, research, activities) about the partnership are expected to follow an inaugural board meeting to be held in San Francisco on February 3, 2017.
