Seattle-based artificial intelligence (AI) start-up XNOR has raised $12m in a series A funding round led by Madrona Venture Group. XNOR, which was spun out of the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence in 2017, has developed a self-service software development platform, provisionally named AI for Everyone, Everywhere. XNOR’s software localises the processing required for AI tasks in a device's CPU. “We’re making it so simple that any developer should be able to deploy AI into their software and use it,” said XNOR's CEO Ali Farhadi. The company is also working on an app called “AI” that will let users access information about how they are being used online.
