The company OpenAI previously acquired a startup from former chief designer of Apple, Jony Ive, and now it is developing a mobile device entirely reliant on AI within the company. Now, the head of the company, Sam Altman, has stated that the team has finally completed work on the first prototypes.
Created by Gemini.
There is no exact data yet on when the device might be released, but Ive says he expects to complete the work no sooner than two years from now. Altman also attempted to explain what this will be, without going into details. One can create an atmosphere that is unlike a walk through Times Square, where someone is constantly bumping into people and where everything around is battling for your attention. Rather, it’s like sitting in a beautiful cabin by a lake in the mountains, simply enjoying the peace and calm.
What lies behind such a metaphor can only be guessed, but rumors of the lack of a display on the OpenAI device quite fit this description, as without a display it will not be possible to use all modern social networks, which, as we recently learned, reliably negatively affect people’s mental states.
Altman also said the smart device with artificial intelligence will be able to perform various actions for the user over a prolonged period, filter information, and understand when something is important enough to notify the user. Altman added that the device will be able to know everything you’ve ever thought, read, said.
We have already seen several devices with the same concept: AI does everything for the user. But so far none of them have stood out with a well-thought-out concept and good implementation.
As AI technology evolves, the focus is increasingly on enhancing privacy, with more devices opting for designs that minimize distraction and data exposure, such as the one envisioned by OpenAI. Experts suggest the potential inclusion of features such as biometrics or voice recognition to ensure seamless, intuitive interaction with users, reinforcing a growing market trend towards prioritizing user well-being over constant connectivity.
