Apple has acquired Israeli startup Q.ai for 2 billion dollars, its second-largest deal to date. This acquisition secures advanced AI that interprets silent speech by analyzing facial micromovements and muscle activity. By integrating these capabilities, Apple is shifting from voice-based interfaces to private, non-verbal communication. This move transforms biometric sensors into active input tools for Siri and wearables, signaling a systemic shift in how we interact with technology.
