OpenAI CEO Sam Altman just shared some ambitious plans that he is working on. He said that he, along with former Apple design chief Jony Ive, is working on a groundbreaking AI-powered hardware device that could potentially replace traditional smartphones.
He shared this during an exclusive interview with Nikkei Asia. The device is expected to leverage generative AI and then overpower traditional smartphones.
Speaking more about the generative AI capabilities of this upcoming AI-powered hardware device can simplify complex interactions and outperform current smartphone software by leveraging generative AI. Unlike conventional smartphones that rely on touchscreens and manual inputs, this new technology aims to prioritise voice commands and intuitive interfaces. This can potentially make human-device interaction more seamless and natural.
This project has been under development for over a year now and has even secured substantial funding and is backed by prominent investors. This event aligns with OpenAI’s broader mission of integrating artificial intelligence into everyday life. With Ive’s expertise, we can expect a design that is both functional and aesthetically advanced.
If reports are to be believed, this new device will move away from traditional smartphone form factors, potentially eliminating the need for screens altogether. Instead, it could introduce an entirely new way of interacting with digital information.
Apart from this, Altman didn’t share too much but he hinted that the project is still in its early stages and could take several years before a functional prototype is ready. However, if successful, this collaboration could initiate a new era of AI-driven personal technology.
Let’s just wait and see what this device is and how it will translate in real life. Until then, stay tuned to Digit and we will keep you posted.
