OpenAI has ventured into the hardware space, partnering with designer Jony Ive to develop AI-enabled devices through a startup named io. However, this launch has encountered a setback as a trademark complaint from iyO, a competitor creating AI-powered wearables, has necessitated a temporary halting of their public announcement. OpenAI disputes this claim and is exploring its options. Despite this legal challenge, the partnership intended to create widely accessible AI devices remains intact, with plans for future innovation ongoing.
OpenAI has updated its original announcement page, stating that it is "temporarily down due to a court order following a trademark complaint from iyO about our use of the name 'io.'"
Sam Altman envisions creating a daily AI companion device as common as a laptop or smartphone, targeted for widespread user accessibility.
