After months of speculation, Jony Ive has confirmed that his company, LoveFrom, is collaborating with OpenAI to design a ChatGPT hardware device. This project, which aims to create an AI-first computing experience, has been shrouded in mystery since reports first surfaced last year.
Jony Ive, the former Apple design guru, has assembled a team of renowned designers to work on the project. This includes Tang Tan, a former iPhone designer who joined Ive’s company, LoveFrom. The team is working on a product that uses AI to create a computing experience that is less socially disruptive than the iPhone.
While details about the product are scarce, it’s clear that the ChatGPT device will compete against the iPhone and Google’s Pixel phones. However, it’s unlikely to be a traditional smartphone. Instead, it may offer a new type of computing experience that leverages AI to create a more seamless and intuitive user interface.
The success of this project will depend on the team’s ability to create a product that truly harnesses the power of AI. While other companies have attempted to create AI-first hardware, they have largely failed. Jony Ive’s involvement, however, brings a level of credibility and expertise that could make all the difference.
