At OpenAI On Monday, at a conference of programmers in San Francisco, the CEO of Sam Altman I former designer Apple Jons Ive spoke vaguely about the “Family of Devices”, which both are working on.
“Although telephones and computers are great, there is something new to do,” said Altman on the Ive stage. The duo confirmed that Opeli is working on more than one hardware product, but details, from cases of utilize to specifications, remain a mystery.
“The equipment is difficult. The invention of new computing formats is difficult,” said Altman at a press conference earlier that day. I think we have a chance to do something amazing, but it will take some time.
Ive said his team generated “15 to 20 really attractive ideas for products” on the way to find the right type of equipment on which the company’s efforts can be concentrated.
“I don’t think we have easy relationships with our technology at the moment,” said Ive. “Instead of perceiving artificial intelligence as an extension of these challenges, I see it completely differently.” Ive explained that one of the reasons why he wanted to design a device based on artificial intelligence using OPENAI is a change in the relationship that people currently have with devices they utilize every day.
Although Ive admitted that artificial intelligence can raise productivity, performance does not seem to be its main goal for these devices. Rather, he hopes that they will bring more social good to the world. The devices should “make us happy and fulfilled, as well as calmer, less restless and less disconnected,” he said.
Earlier reports indicated that Opeli is planning to produce a up-to-date category of equipment that would not resemble a phone or laptop in any way. In a recent familiarization version for OpenAI employees, Altman suggested that the product would be aware of the user’s environment and his daily experiences. Wall Street diary. The device can be deprived of the screen and rely on input data from cameras and microphones.
Openai also did not reveal publicly when it plans to release the devices on the market, although according to the “Financial Times” the target date of the premiere may be the end of 2026. The publication recently stated that the work on the device has been completed difficult by technical problems.
