OpenAI and Ive are aiming for a small hand-carried device that does not have a screen and can recognize surrounding sounds and images to respond to users.
The OpenAI leader once said that Ive and his team will help create a "new generation of computers powered by artificial intelligence".
However, the project is stuck in many areas such as: how to make the device have a suitable " difference", ensuring privacy and building a strong enough processing system, which could delay the launch plan.
Another source said that the device can work in a always on state, listening and responding on its own without requiring users to place orders.
However, the development team still had difficulty controlling the time the device responded and ended the dialogue.
The collaboration between OpenAI and Jony Ive is not only a collaboration between technology and design, but also shows the ambition to reshape the way humans interact with machines. With experience in creating iconic products such as iPhones or MacBookts, Ive is expected to help OpenAI turn artificial intelligence into a more intimate, natural and man-made experience.
If successful, this device could open a new era, where AI is no longer hidden behind screens or keyboards, but is present as a smart companion in daily life.
