OpenAI CEO Sam altman has just revealed the first describedations of the upcoming AI hardware, a collaboration between OpenAI and Jony Ive (former Apple's design director).
Although he has not released specific images or specific specific specifications, altman said that the general reaction of those who first saw the device was surprise because of its simplicity.
This AI device is said to be unscreened, compact and has a typical minimalist design philosophy of Ive.
Earlier this year, OpenAI acquired Ive's io design startup to bring AI closer to common users through a completely new technology device.
In an interview at Emerson Collective's 9th Annual Performance Day, altman and Ive shared more about their vision for this product.
altman has a deep admiration for the iPhone, calling it a pinnacle of modern consumer products and a turning point in his life.
However, he admitted that technology today is increasingly becoming a source of intense disruption.
That is what altman wants to change. According to him, new AI devices must bring quietness, concentration and streamline information.
Its like sitting in the most beautiful cabin by the lake on the mountain and enjoying the quiet, altman described.
This device is expected to have the ability to proactively filter information, recognize the right time to display content and make requests to users.
altman believes that people will gradually trust the device, because it has the ability to perceive the context of the user's life better and better over time.
Jony Ive, the person behind many iconic Apple designs, shared that the design philosophy he pursues is simple to the point of being invincible but sophisticated, intelligent and easy to use.
I like smart products that you want to touch, not afraid, use almost unconsciously, Ive said.
altman confirmed that the AI device will be on the market for less than two years.
Although not yet officially revealed, the combination of OpenAI and Jony Ive is making technology experts expect that this could be an AI device that changes the way people interact with technology, in a more peaceful and focused way, in contrast to today's distorted devices.
