Former Apple VP of industrial design Jony Ive is working with ChatGPT maker OpenAI to develop what is vaguely described as an “artificial intelligence iPhone.” the information And Financial Times. They reportedly secured $1 billion in funding from SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son, so it’s a serious project, but it’s still in the early stages of planning.
OpenAI has just revealed DALL-E 3, its latest image generator.
The alleged concept behind the project is to provide users with a more natural and intuitive way of interacting with AI than is currently available. Using ChatGPT on a laptop or iPhone is fine, but that’s not what these devices were clearly designed to do. Ive’s new project will theoretically involve hardware deeply integrated with AI.
Citing people familiar with the matter. Financial Times suggested that the end game “is to create a way of interacting with computers that relies less on screens.” If this statement made you dizzy, the edge pointed to Humana’s screenless wearable AI gizmo as an example of displayless tech.
I left Apple in 2019 after nearly 30 years with the company. If you don’t know, he was a key figure in the physical design of devices like the iMac, iPhone, iPad, and other iDevices. He’s been bouncing around with projects here and there for the past few years (he actually designed some of the Apple Watch faces after he left the company), but working with OpenAI on hardware is one of the best things he’s done since leaving his mothership. Since then there will be a remarkable effort.
