Apple has acquired Israeli AI startup Q.ai for approximately 1.6 billion dollars, marking its second-largest acquisition in history. The startup specializes in sensing facial skin micromovements to interpret whispered or silent speech and detect physical emotional states. This 100-person team, led by the pioneer of FaceID tech, will likely integrate non-verbal interaction into future AirPods and Vision Pro. This move signals a systemic shift toward silent, muscle-based communication that functions even in noisy environments. πŸ“±πŸ’‘
