Is a future without mobile phones possible? Humane is convinced that it does. He wants us to replace it with a pin on the flap that projects the screen in the hand. And lots and lots of artificial intelligence. Today he revealed his name: Humane Ai Pin. Yes, Ai with lowercase.
Humane is a company created by Imran Chaudhri and Bethany Bongiorno, two former Apple employees who decided to create their own company, to "kill" the iPhone... and the rest of smartphones.
It is true that today we are slaves to the mobile. We pick it up and leave it on the table hundreds of times a day, and check its screen constantly. It is slavery, among other things, because we are obliged to always carry that brick in our hands, and not lose sight of it.
Humane Ai Pin, goodbye to mobile
Humane caused a stir months ago when it showed off a prototype of this mobile substitute at a TED talk.
Humane Ai Pin is a kind of "clip" or pin that is fastened on the lapel of the jacket or dress. Thanks to artificial intelligence you communicate with him with his voice, naturally, and he can complete all kinds of basic tasks that a mobile does, without the need for a screen.And when you need to see something... Project a screen in your hand.
Since it is a ChatGPT-type AI (they have not said what it is), you can have conversations with it while walking down the street or in the car.
Humane Ai Pin can also translate conversations in real time. Here we can see him translating from English to French imitating your own voice.
Elon Musk was right when he said that his children did not study other languages, because the AI will be responsible for translating... Although learning a language produces many other benefits...
It also has a camera, so it can see and identify objects.
Imran Chaudhri and Bethany Bongiorno, co-founders of Humane, commented: "We are delighted to reveal that our first device will be called Humane Ai Pin. Our Ai Pin offers people the opportunity to take AI with them everywhere and open a new era of seamless, screen-free, sensor-enabled personal mobile computing.
"Humane Ai Pin will use custom hardware from Qualcomm, excited about the product: "Humane Ai Pin uses real-time contextual information to deliver personalized and exciting AI use cases. We share Humane's vision of bringing artificial intelligence everywhere and making it available to everyone. We can't wait to see where they take this device.
"Humane Ai Pin will go on sale at the end of the year. We want to check your this wearable with artificial intelligence fulfills its promise to end the mobile forever.
