OpenAI's First AI Gadget Set for 2023 Launch
OpenAI, currently the world's most valuable private company, has announced plans to launch its first AI-powered gadget later this year. The device, acquired from former Apple designer Jony Ive's startup 'io', is set to revolutionise the way users interact with AI services.
In May 2023, OpenAI acquired 'io' for a staggering $6.5 billion. The deal, which included OpenAI's existing stake in the company, was settled with new shares worth $5 billion. The remaining $1.5 billion came from earlier investments in Jony Ive's startup. The acquisition has now led to the development of an AI gadget designed to fit in the palm of the hand, without a screen.
The device is engineered to utilise acoustic and visual information from the user's immediate surroundings. OpenAI is currently working on balancing the personality of its AI assistant for this device, aiming to provide a seamless and intuitive user experience. Looking ahead, OpenAI plans to offer its own hardware around its AI services in 2024.
OpenAI's first AI gadget, set to launch later in 2023, is a significant step for the company. The device, acquired from Jony Ive's 'io', is expected to enhance user interaction with AI services. As the most valuable private company, OpenAI continues to push the boundaries of AI technology.
