Former Apple designer and ChatGPT developers may be preparing a new gadget with AI

Former Apple chief designer Jony Ive and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who had a hand in creating ChatGPT, want to create a new artificial intelligence device. About it learned about The Information publication.

It is still unclear what this gadget will be like and whether it will be released at all. What is known is that they discussed various options for what equipment in the AI ​​era might look like. SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son also participated in some aspects of the negotiations.

Before that Altman cooperated with another former designer of the Cupertino company, Thomas Meyerhoffer. As a result, he came up with a design for a retinal scanner in the form of a ball for his crypto startup Worldcoin.

Ive led the design division at Apple for more than 20 years. He left the company in 2019, but after that he still collaborated with it and even participated in the development of a mixed reality headset Vision Pro. In 2021, he opened his own design firm LoveFrom, whose clients currently include Ferrari and Airbnb.
