Apple CEO Tim Cook says the company is “open” to mergers and acquisitions as it “significantly” increases its investment in AI, as reported by CNBC. The company is increasingly turning to AI startups for help — and reports have suggested that Apple is even open to making big acquisitions to catch up. The discussions come after Apple swapped in Vision Pro head Mike Rockwell as the leader of AI and Siri in March. When speaking about AI, Cook said the company is “embedding it across our devices, across our platforms and across the company,” according to CNBC. ”We’re making good progress on a more personalized Siri,” Cook said during an earnings call on Thursday.
