In a stunning move last month, OpenAI shelled out a reported $6.5 billion to acquire the startup of none other than design visionary Jony Ive, the man who shaped Apple for over two decades. The deal solidified Ive’s shift to focus on OpenAI’s burgeoning AI hardware initiatives.
According to a new report, Ive is leading the charge on a suite of groundbreaking AI-powered hardware products.
One intriguing device in development is a “wearable mobile device,” described as something akin to a “pendant” that users would wear around their necks, providing access to ChatGPT via voice commands. Imagine the possibilities: instant AI assistance, always at your disposal.
Beyond the wearable, Ive’s work at OpenAI includes a home device, similar in concept to a smart speaker, designed for tabletop placement and capable of executing various tasks through OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
The report also hints at a robotics project, described as a device that “might form relationships with humans through AI.” However, this ambitious project is reportedly still years away from fruition.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, upon sealing the deal with Ive’s company, lauded the designer’s unparalleled talent. He believes Ive’s expertise is crucial in developing the next generation of AI-driven computing experiences.
Rumors of a mystery AI device have swirled for a while, with speculation about a screenless AI phone. The wearable mobile device mentioned in the report could very well be this highly anticipated product.
