    Apple has snapped up a Seattle-based startup called Turi that specializes in machine learning, likely in an effort to boost its products' AI capabilities. Ever the secretive corporation, Cupertino hasn't released details about the acquisition besides confirming it to Recode and other publications. A spokesperson merely answered all questions with this statement: "Apple buys smaller technology companies from time to time, and we generally do not discuss our purpose or plans." According to GeekWire, though, the company bought the startup for around $200 million.
