Jony Ive, the designer behind the iPhone, has sold his startup io to OpenAI, taking a key role in merging their efforts to create innovative technology. He envisions this partnership as a culmination of his 30 years of design experience. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman praises the prototype device, hinting at ambitious plans to develop AI companions for everyday use. Despite high expectations, analysts warn that surpassing current screen-based devices will be challenging, referencing past failures in AI hardware. Nonetheless, the focus remains on unobtrusiveness and user integration, with a significant production goal of 100 million devices.
"I think it is the coolest piece of technology that the world will have ever seen," says Sam Altman about the prototype developed by Jony Ive.
Martha Bennett from Forrester Research mentions, 'It really will have to be amazing to prise people away from today's screen-based devices.'
Jony Ive expressed, 'Everything I have learned over the last 30 years has led me to this place, to this moment.'
OpenAI plans to build 100m AI companions that will be part of users' everyday life, focusing on creating an unobtrusive product.
