The company that in the 1980s created the first AI is called Xenox and they have a research center in Palo Alto. Cole asks if this is the photocopier company.
In reality, photocopier manufacturer Xerox funded a research center in Palo Alto in the late 1960s with the intent of entering the computer market. Though the company never did, their innovations from the 1970s were instrumental in the development of modern computing, in particular the Apple Macintosh computer and the Windows operating system.
The project was announced on 18 January 2023, less than two weeks after the release of the first film.
