KEY POINTS
- •OpenAI president Greg Brockman discussed upcoming AI device plans during an interview with Joanna Stern on her YouTube channel.
- •Despite rumors about a smart speaker set for 2027 and a wearable similar to the Humane AI pin, Brockman withheld confirmation and release dates.
- •When asked about Apple’s lawsuit over trade secrets affecting collaborations with Jony Ive, Brockman focused on ongoing project efforts without elaboration.
In a dazzling masterclass of corporate vague-speak, OpenAI president Greg Brockman spilled the beans on their mysterious 'family of devices' for AI interaction during a YouTube chat with Joanna Stern. While hints of a smart speaker slated for 2027 and a wearable akin to Humane AI's pin were duct-taped into rumors, Brockman tactfully declined to confirm anything—because who needs release dates anyway? Even Apple’s trademark temper tantrum via a lawsuit hasn't distracted him from focusing on 'o…' whatever that means. Spoiler: actual specs, prices, and shipping info remain as elusive as a gluten-free cake at a Texas BBQ.
