Apple To Join AI Research Group Including Microsoft, Google, Facebook

Apple is going to join a non-profit artificial intelligence research group founded by big members of the tech industry last year. The Partnership on AI was established by Amazon, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and IBM in September 2016. The organization's goal is "to study and formulate best practices, to advance the public's understanding of AI, and to serve as an open platform for discussion and engagement about AI and its influences on people and society." Bloomberg reports Apple is ready to join the group, indicating the company is willing to share more of its work in the AI field.
