Jony Ive has confirmed that he is working with OpenAI’s Sam Altman on some sort of new AI-powered hardware device.
Ive was the lead designer for the early iterations of the iPhone during Jobs-era Apple.
So far, the major AI devices we’ve seen have failed miserably, such as the Humane Ai Pin and the Rabbit R1.
In the past year, we’ve seen a slew of devices based around generative AI that were claimed to be “the next big thing.” The Humane Ai Pin and the Rabbit R1 (https://www.androidauthority.com/rabbit-r1-review-3440725/) are two significant examples. However, both failed miserably for myriad reasons, with the most significant reason being people don’t seem to want dedicated hardware for AI services — they just want to use their smartphones.
Despite this, we’ve learned today that Jony Ive — the man most directly responsible for the designs of the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and more Apple products under Steve Jobs — is working with OpenAI’s Sam Altman on some sort of new AI-powered hardware. This was revealed in a profile on Ive in The New York Times (https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/21/technology/jony-ive-apple-lovefrom.html).
