Although details about the AI device are limited, it is certain that it will not resemble a smartphone. Altman, a significant investor in the Humane AI pin, is known for his interest in wearable AI devices without screens. Therefore, it is likely that the new product created by Altman and Ive will follow a similar design philosophy.The partnership between Ive and Altman was first mentioned last fall, with talks being in the early stages. However, the collaboration has now become official, and the duo is actively seeking investments. OpenAI, Altman’s organization, may also have a stake in the business, and they are in discussions with SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son.
Potential investors include Thrive Capital, an OpenAI investor, and Emerson Collective, a venture capital firm and philanthropic organization founded by Laurene Powell Jobs. This diverse range of investors highlights the widespread interest and potential of the AI device.
