Apple has been seen to invest heavily in the field of Artificial Intelligence. According to GlobalData's report, the number companies that Apple have bought from the years 2016 to 2020, makes it the tech giant having ownership of most amount of AI companies.
The reason why these tech giants are so focused into AI and its associated companies is because AI is pretty much the main focus these days and it is well known that the future of the tech world lies in AI, that is the reason why the market of Artificial Intelligence is in so much chaos these days, so every other company out there wants to overpower the other with their AI developments leading to a major competition in the market at the moment. Amazon’s Alexa, Google’s Assistant, Microsoft’s Cortana and Apple’s Siri have contributed a lot to this competition.

It has been found that Apple has bought at least 25 AI companies and on the other hand Google has bought only 14 in the same time period. Google got hold of many well-known AI companies like DeepMind Technologies, Api.ai and Superpod to develop Artificial Intelligence products and to improve the capabilities of Google Assistant. Other major tech giants that bought AI companies also include, Microsoft with having bought 10 AI startups, Facebook bought 8 and Amazon in total bought 7 AI startups.
