OpenAI is set to acquire the AI device startup io, co-founded by Jony Ive, in a $6.5 billion all-stock deal. This acquisition marks OpenAI's largest purchase to date and aims to enhance its hardware capabilities with the expertise of experienced designers from Apple. Ive, known for his iconic designs, feels that this collaboration will lead to innovative products. The move highlights OpenAI's commitment to creating advanced consumer hardware in response to the evolving demands of AI technologies, potentially threatening Apple's competitive edge in the market.
I've said in a joint interview with OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman. It's a relationship and a way of working together that I think is going to yield products and products and products.
OpenAI is going to create a product at a level of quality that has never happened before in consumer hardware, Altman said.
Altman said Jobs would be damn proud of Ive's latest move.
AI is such a big leap forward in terms of what people can do that it needs a new kind of computing form factor to get the maximum potential out of it, he said.
