The biggest AI and Machine Learning Acquisitions 2016: From Apple to Google
MetaMind joins PredicitonIO, an open source machine learning server and developer community, which was acquired by Salesforce in February, and the machine learning powered analytics startup BeyondCore in August. This follows the acquisition of MinHash - the company behind the AI virtual assistant AILA - in December 2015, and smart calendar app Tempo.ai in June last year, an acquisition which almost certainly led to the recent Salesforce Inbox Calendar product. Speaking to Computerworld UK earlier this year, CTO Adam Evans said: "AI is technology that Salesforce is incredibly interested in. At Salesforce we have moved from systems of record to systems of engagement and now we are moving towards systems of intelligence."
