Humane unveils innovative AI Pin, a wearable powered by OpenAI

Humane unveils the AI Pin, a revolutionary wearable powered by OpenAI, focusing on seamless AI interaction and simplifying technology usage

Humane has just launched its highly anticipated AI-powered wearable device, the AI Pin. This innovative gadget, priced at US$699, is a two-part wearable with a square device and a battery pack. It attaches magnetically to clothing or other surfaces. A monthly subscription fee of US$24 provides a phone number and data coverage via T-Mobile. The AI Pin, scheduled for shipping in early 2024, can be pre-ordered starting November 16.

A unique blend of technology and simplicity

The AI Pin has a Snapdragon processor and can be controlled through voice commands, gestures, a camera, and a built-in projector. Weighing about 34 grams, with the battery booster adding another 20 grams, it features a 13-megapixel camera capable of capturing photos and future video capability through a software update. Unlike always-recording devices, the AI Pin requires manual activation for data collection, indicated by its “Trust Light.”

Simplifying interaction with AI

Humane’s AI Pin aims to simplify technological interactions, eliminating the need for a traditional interface. It connects to AI models using AI Mic software and operates on Cosmos, an operating system designed to direct queries to appropriate tools. The device’s primary function is to connect to AI models, notably powered by GPT-4. Key features include voice-based messaging, email summarisation, food nutritional information, and real-time translation. Future enhancements will include navigation and shopping capabilities, allowing developers to create additional tools.

A visionary approach to AI technology

Humane envisions the AI Pin as the start of a larger endeavour. The device’s effectiveness will improve alongside advancements in AI models. The company aims to replicate the evolutionary journey of smartphones, where the real transformation lies in the capabilities offered. Though much work remains, Humane is poised to pioneer this new frontier of AI-enhanced wearables.
