Apple, Huxe's artificial intelligence technology licenses

Acquisitions

▤ Summary

Apple has reached an agreement to license AI technology from Huxe and hire some of the startup’s employees. The deal does not include a full acquisition, and Apple will only receive a non-exclusive license to Huxe’s intellectual property. Huxe recently announced that it would shut down its service, making the timing of the agreement notable. The arrangement could support future audio or podcast-related features in Apple’s software, but Apple has not disclosed any product plans yet.
