Laurene Powell Jobs supports the innovative AI gadget being developed by Jony Ive and OpenAI's Sam Altman, as they strive to redefine technology's impact on humanity. In a recent interview, both express their concerns about technology's negative aspects, linking their current endeavors to the unintended consequences of gadgets like the iPhone. They emphasize accountability and a determination to improve technology, with Powell Jobs highlighting the darker uses of technological advancements. With Powell Jobs' significant investment in Ive's ventures, their collaborative effort signifies a renewed dedication to balance innovation with responsibility.
"Many of us would say we have an uneasy relationship with technology at the moment," Ive said, adding that working on the incoming AI device alongside OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is motivated by a sense that "humanity deserves better."
Ive again acknowledged this, and says the collaboration with Altman has revived his optimism for technology. "If you make something new, if you innovate, there will be consequences unforeseen, and some will be wonderful and some will be harmful. While some of the less positive consequences were unintentional, I still feel responsibility. And the manifestation of that is a determination to try and be useful."
