Humane is an artificial intelligence startup worth almost half a billion, with two former Apple execs at the helm. The company teased its first product a few months ago, choosing an unexpected way to demo some of its capabilities. The clothes-worn wearable showed up during a TED Talk, with Imran Chaudhri showing some of the gadget’s abilities. Two months later, Humane has revealed the device’s name, and you can register your interest in the Ai Pin.
The device is supposed to replace your iPhone. Though, as I said before, I don’t believe we’ve reached a point where we can do any sort of computing without a screen. Regarding Humane’s late June teaser, why the company chose to drop the news that way is unclear. Humane only revealed the Ai Pin name and provided a few superficial details about it.
Finally, Humane said it’s working with Qualcomm Technologies to make this unique device and form factor. Therefore, an “advanced Snapdragon platform” would power the Ai Pin.
