OpenAI's Chief Scientist Reveals Hopes and Fears for AI's Future
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, known for his love of the movie "Her," is heavily invested in the development of AI hardware. He is the largest shareholder in startup Humane, which is set to unveil its wearable, screenless digital assistant called Ai Pin. Altman is also backing Rewind, a company that creates an AI-powered sound-recording pendant. Additionally, he has been in discussions with former Apple designer Jony Ive about creating the "iPhone of artificial intelligence." The race to create the next AI form factor is on, with Humane's device offering unique features such as projecting images onto the hand and capturing 180-degree videos. The question remains whether consumers are ready for devices that know them as well as they know themselves.
