The Ai Pin, a $700 tiny computer featuring a virtual assistant pulling data from OpenAI (the research firm behind the ChatGPT chatbot), Google, Microsoft and others to answer questions and perform tasks.
The novel design of the Ai Pin, which was made by the start-up Humane, generated buzz when it was unveiled late last year. Companies including OpenAI, Microsoft and Salesforce have placed a bold bet — to the tune of $240 million in funding for Humane — that artificially intelligent hardware like the Ai Pin will become the next big thing after the smartphone.
Humane said its goal with the Ai Pin was to offer technology that would help people avoid screens and maintain eye contact.
