OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is collaborating with renowned Apple designer Jony Ive to create a groundbreaking AI companion device that is capable of being aware of its user's life and surroundings. Following the acquisition of Ive's AI company, io, Altman shared ambitious goals for production, targeting 100 million units. This device, designed to fit unobtrusively in a pocket or on a desk, aims to help users reduce their time on screens, resembling a shift away from typical smartphone capabilities. However, past experiences with similar products raise concerns about user acceptance.
Altman told employees that the io acquisition will offer everyone involved a 'chance to do the biggest thing we've ever done as a company.'
Ives and Altman added that the device will be unobtrusive, capable of fitting inside a pocket or on a desk, and will be 'fully aware' of a user's surroundings and life.
