HP to build future products atop grave of flopped 'AI pin'
Briefly

Humane's AI Pin, a wearable device designed to connect users through voice and advanced features, has been labeled one of 2024's biggest consumer tech flops. Initially heralded for its potential to redefine personal technology, the Pin struggled due to severe usability and stability issues, including overheating and a known risk of battery fires leading to recalls. Despite subsequent improvements, the damage to its reputation was done. Following these challenges, HP acquired key AI technologies from Humane to develop innovations for its products, illustrating the shifting landscape in consumer tech.
Humane's AI Pin was touted as a disruptive force in the smartphone market but met with significant consumer rejection due to usability and stability issues.
While initially received poorly, subsequent updates improved reviews, yet persistent problems with overheating and even the potential for battery fires haunted its launch.
