Jony Ive and Sam Altman have collaborated to create 'io', which is now an OpenAI department focused on innovative AI-driven devices. This partnership, born from the former Apple Chief Design Officer's vision, aims to develop tools that empower users creatively. The acquisition of io by OpenAI for $6.4 billion marks a significant milestone for both companies. Their first product is expected to launch in 2026, and early prototypes have impressed Sam Altman, highlighting the transformative potential of their upcoming technology.
"io is merging with OpenAI, formed with the mission of figuring out how to create a family of devices that would let people use AI to create all sorts of wonderful things."
"I've been able to live with it, and I think it is the coolest piece of technology that the world will have ever seen," Sam Altman exclaims about a prototype given to him by Jony Ive.
