OpenAI president Greg Brockman says the company is developing a “family of devices” for interacting with its AI models, but gave no release dates and did not confirm rumors about a smart speaker or wearables; he envisions most tasks being done by talking to computers, and OpenAI is pursuing verifiable, auditable privacy guarantees to address trust in its AI.

Americans Embrace AI Tools While Wary of Risks

A Pew Research Center survey of 5,119 U.S. adults (Feb 17–23, 2026) finds about half now use AI chatbots (roughly 25% daily), and about one in three own AI-enabled smart speakers, with others having AI-capable doorbells or thermostats; ChatGPT remains the dominant chatbot. Use is higher among under-50s. People say chatbots boost productivity and information, but are less convinced they enhance creativity, while many worry AI will threaten personal data security and that it’s advancing too quickly. Confidence in government to regulate AI and in companies to develop it responsibly is low, with Democrats more skeptical about regulation than Republicans.
