OpenAI Unveils a Revolutionary Screenless Device in Collaboration with Jony Ive
The partnership aims to redefine human interaction with artificial intelligence technology.
OpenAI, the organization behind ChatGPT, has announced a partnership with renowned designer Jony Ive, former head of design at Apple, to create a new device that promises a more seamless and human-like interaction with artificial intelligence technologies.
Jony Ive, known for his pivotal role in designing iconic Apple products, stated that existing devices such as smartphones and computers do not align with the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence.
He emphasized the importance of rethinking beyond these traditional products.
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, described the prototype presented by Ive as potentially "the most incredible piece of technology humanity has ever seen." While specific details about the device remain scarce, reports indicate that it will not feature a screen and will not be a wearable item, such as a smartwatch or pin, creating intrigue about its functionality and design.
This initiative occurs as major technology firms engage in a competitive race to develop AI-specific devices.
Google has unveiled smart glasses equipped with AI capabilities, and Amazon continues to enhance its Alexa assistant, while Apple has been relatively slow in integrating generative AI into its smartphones.
The announcement follows the short-lived launch of the AI Pin by Humane, which was priced at $699 but struggled to gain traction in the market, lasting less than a year.
Companies like Meta and OpenAI appear ready to take larger risks despite earlier setbacks.
Experts anticipate that voice will be the primary medium for interacting with AI technologies in the future.
It is expected that OpenAI's forthcoming device will rely entirely on voice interaction, eliminating the need for a constant internet connection to enhance efficiency, security, and energy conservation.
According to analysts, including Olivier Blanchard, there is a growing necessity for "local" solutions that do not depend entirely on cloud resources.
Blanchard remarked that the world lacks sufficient energy resources to support the infinite expansion of artificial intelligence technologies.
