The four-year-old company was founded in Tel Aviv in 2022 by Aviad Maizels, Yonatan Wexler and Avi Barliya. Patents filed by Q.AI show its technology being deployed in headphones or smart glasses to enable non-verbal communication with an AI assistant. The acquisition comes as Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses already let wearers talk to its AI, and Google and Snap are preparing to launch competing devices later this year.

Using AI, we can analyze imperceptible deviations in skull shape that will predict a person's behavior and mental acuity. We've already signed on a dozen Fortune 500 companies and countless law enforcement departments servicing high-crime areas.

It does sound like bullshit doesn't it. The article also sounds iffy. I can't imagine apple would drop that kind of money without it being real though. Wonder if it works as a lie detector too...

Pretty much my default is bad logic. You'd hope a 2billion acquisition would undergo a ton of scrutiny first.

Perhaps we should consider what's under the hood here. I can imagine Apple dropping that kind of money on technology that's iffy if the patents secured behind it are not.
Lock, stock, and barrel, implies you're buying far more than the superficial.
