Tech giants unite for the iPhone of AI!
Technology giants are coming together. Leading companies of the artificial intelligence era are joining forces for the iPhone of artificial intelligence. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman wants to develop OpenAI’s first consumer device.
To realize this goal, he approached LoveFrom, the design firm of former Apple chief design officer Jony Ive. The two companies brainstormed in Ive’s San Francisco studio. Afterwards, they evaluated the design of the product together.
Tech giants join forces for the iPhone of artificial intelligence. OpenAI and Apple’s former designer’s company LoveFrom are partnering.
Ive and Altman will design a device that offers a more natural and intuitive user experience for interacting with AI. The duo is inspired by the way touchscreen technology on the original iPhone interacted with the mobile internet. There is also a venture that will provide financial support to these two companies. Softbank Group, which includes Arm, which provides chip support for Apple devices, will provide financial support.
Ive played a crucial role in designing the first iPhone. Ive also has his signature on many devices. Apple’s technology has an addictive nature. The former Apple designer argued that measures should be taken to prevent this from reaching dangerous levels. He also drew attention to the moral dimension of the process. With this project with OpenAI, Ive will design an interactive computing device that is less dependent on screens.
This is not the first collaboration between OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Apple employees. The company previously invested in Humane, a hardware and software company co-founded by former Apple employees. It gained experience with this investment. Humane makes screenless wearable AI devices to replace smartphones. Now OpenAI will design the iPhone of artificial intelligence together with LoveFrom.
