Apple has acquired Israeli artificial intelligence startup q.ai, marking its second deal with PrimeSense founder Alex Maizels. Maizels, who previously founded PrimeSense, played a key role in developing the motion-sensing technology that powers Apple's Face ID system. After Apple bought PrimeSense in 2013, Maizels went on to establish q.ai in 2022 alongside Dr. Yonatan Vexler and Dr. Avi Barlia. The company has kept a low profile, with few details available about its products, but has attracted investment from major international and Israeli funds.
