The legendary Designer Jony Ive He completely changed the technological context with iconic products such as the iPhone and the MacBook Pro, and now it is again in the center of all eyes. This time, he does it with OpenAi, in a project that aims to completely shake the loop of artificial intelligence.
As a result of this collaboration, we would see an unpublished device that is not a mobile, or smart glasses, but something completely new.
Device with artificial intelligence for our days
It would be an “third essential device” that, according to its creators, is designed to Living with the iPhone and the Macbook, but also to offer a radically different experience. The idea is clear: change the rules of the game.
What is known until now comes from a filtration of the Wall Street Journal, which has had access to an internal call between Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAi, and Jony Ive himself. In it, key details of the project were shared, including that it will not be a device that we should wear or an additional screen that isolates us even more from society. On the contrary: the purpose is precisely to remove users from excessive use of screens, creating a object with contextual artificial intelligence that acts in the backgrounddiscreet but always available.
According to Altman's words, the device will be able to understand the user's environment continuously, functioning as a kind of omnipresent digital assistant. It can be placed on a table or stored in your pocket, without it intrusive, and will offer more natural interactions with technology. In a way, it seems that the idea is to build a kind of Intelligent partner Do not distract us, but assist us without realizing it. All this in a physical format care in detail, as expected from a product designed by IVE.
Although there are no confirmed images or technical characteristics, it has been revealed that Openai plans to launch this large -scale device. In fact, the objective is to manufacture and distribute 100 million units “The first day.” Altman states that no company in history has launched that amount of completely new devices in such a short time, and trusts that they will be the first to achieve it. He also claims to have tried a prototype in his own home, and does not hesitate to describe it as “the most amazing technological piece that the world has ever seen.”
Could be shaped like a small pocket devicewith advanced sensors, voice control and a powerful AI that understands our environment, routines and needs without having to be aware of a screen. Most likely to be minimalist, elegant and fully functional from the first moment, as we would expect from an IVE design.
The project was born from the acquisition of IO, a hardware startup focused on artificial intelligence that Jony Ive co -founded with former Apple companions. The purchase, valued at 6,500 million dollars, is the largest strategic movement of OpenAI to date. The operation is still subject to regulatory approval, but this summer is expected to be closed, which opens the door for the device to be officially launched in the late 2026.
We will have to wait to know all the details, but if something is clear, it is that Jony Ive and Sam Altman are not creating one more device. They are preparing what could be the next great milestone of personal technology, a device that, if it fulfills what it promises, could redefine our way of living with artificial intelligence.
