Most AI processing for mobile devices is currently handled by cloud servers, enabling companies such as Google and Amazon to monitor users’ requests as they come in. But privacy-focused Apple has been working on ways to build AI directly into its devices and has acquired a small company called Silk Labs to aid its efforts, the Information reports.

In short, Silk developed on-device AI software to detect people, faces, objects, and audio — rather than relying on cloud servers to handle all the processing.

Assisted by local AI, a device could trigger specific apps or app features based on who or what was identified in a video stream [...] Critically, Silk’s solution is specific to mobile and embedded chipsets like the ones used in iOS devices.
