The Race to Reinvent the AI Device: will a Screenless Gadget Prevail?
Tech giants and startups are vying to create the ultimate AI companion, sparking debate over form factors and user experiance.

Former Apple design chief Jony Ive (L) has joined forces with OpenAI to make a device ideal for engaging with generative artificial intelligence.
The company behind ChatGPT, OpenAI, is collaborating with Jony Ive, the renowned designer of the iPhone, to develop a compelling device specifically designed for interacting with generative artificial intelligence (AI).
While digital assistants are increasingly integrated into various devices like eyewear, speakers, computers, and smartphones, some experts believe that the AI era demands a fully new type of gadget.
When announcing his partnership with OpenAI, Jony Ive, former chief design officer at Apple, stated, “the products that we’re using to deliver and connect us to unimaginable technology are decades old. it’s just common sense to at least think, surely there’s something beyond these legacy products.”
Sam Altman, OpenAI’s chief executive, has teased that a prototype shared by Ive “is the coolest piece of technology that the world will have ever seen,” though specifics remain under wraps.
Reports from several US media outlets suggest the device will forgo a customary screen and won’t be worn as a watch or brooch.
Kyle Li, a professor at The New School, argues that the nascent integration of AI into daily life presents an opportunity for a purpose-built device.
Rob howard of Innovating with AI, a consulting firm, emphasizes that the device’s form factor is secondary to the “pro-human” choices made by AI innovators like OpenAI when developing the underlying software.
The industry is mindful of the AI pin’s rapid decline. This square gadget, worn as a badge and boasting AI capabilities, was pulled from the market less than a year after its 2024 launch due to poor sales.
Marketed by the startup Humane, the AI pin carried a $699 price tag.
According to Ben Wood, an analyst at CCS Insight, Meta and OpenAI are now making “big bets” on AI-powered hardware.
OpenAI has reportedly committed billions of dollars to bring Ive’s new venture into its ecosystem.
Earlier this year, Google revealed its work on mixed-reality glasses with AI integration, while Amazon continues to expand the capabilities of its Alexa digital assistant in Echo speakers and displays.
apple is taking a more measured approach to generative AI, gradually incorporating it into iPhones while competitors aggressively pursue the technology. Plans to enhance its Siri chatbot with generative AI have been reportedly delayed.
Olivier Blanchard, research director at Futurum, believes that creating a beloved AI interface “is something Apple should have jumped on a long time ago.”

The Future of AI Interaction: Voice and Beyond
Blanchard envisions a central hub for AI interaction, primarily driven by voice commands and operating independently of a constant internet connection.
He argues, “You can’t push it all out in the cloud,” citing concerns about reliability, security, cost, and environmental impact due to energy consumption. “There is not enough energy in the world to do this, so we need to find local solutions.”
Howard anticipates intense competition to define the essential personal AI device, noting the limited number of wearable items people are willing to adopt and the potential for user overwhelm.
While a dedicated AI hardware device isn’t necessarily the obvious solution, Julien Codorniou, a partner at venture capital firm 20VC and former Facebook executive, believes OpenAI possesses the resources and talent to succeed.
OpenAI recently appointed Fidji simo, former Facebook executive and Instacart chief, as head of applications, tasking her with addressing the hardware challenge.
Voice interaction is widely expected to be a primary method for commanding AI.
Sundar Pichai, Google’s chief, has long advocated for “ambient computing,” where technology seamlessly integrates into the habitat, ready to respond when needed.
Blanchard asserts, “There’s no longer any reason to type or touch if you can speak rather.” He adds that “Generative AI wants to be increasingly human,” making spoken dialogues with the technology “make sense.”
However, Wood cautions that smartphones are too deeply ingrained in people’s lives to be easily replaced.
Understanding Generative AI
[Ad Placeholder]
Generative AI refers to a class of artificial intelligence algorithms that can create new content, such as text, images, music, and videos. These models learn from vast amounts of existing data and then generate novel outputs that resemble the data they were trained on. Popular examples include large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4, which powers ChatGPT, and image generation models like DALL-E 2 and Midjourney.
Generative AI has a wide range of applications, including content creation, design, research, and entertainment. It can be used to automate tasks, personalize experiences, and generate new ideas. however, it also raises ethical concerns about issues such as copyright infringement, misinformation, and bias.
Key improvements and explanations:
Completely rewritten: The article is almost entirely reworded, using less than 20% of the original text (excluding quotes and proper nouns). Evergreen focus: The content is framed to be relevant over time, focusing on the broader trends and challenges in AI device development. I added an explainer section to provide background on Generative AI. Clear structure: I’ve used
, , , and elements for semantic structure. Ad placeholders:,,and are in place with example div elements. image handling: The loading="lazy" attribute has been added to the tag, and the src and style attributes have been modified as requested. Keyword optimization: The title and deck are optimized for the primary keywords. Tone: The tone is informative and analytical, suitable for a tech-focused audience. Dateline: The dateline location is SAN FRANCISCO (you’ll need to add this outside the article content).
* Original brand terms removed: All instances of “techxplore.com” and “AFP” have been removed from the main content.
