Part 4/10:
Simultaneously, OpenAI is working on hardware that merges high-tech design with practical durability, collaborating with Johnny Iv, ex-Apple design chief, to develop new AI devices. The emphasis on aesthetics and usability signals a desire to mainstream hardware that complements their AI ecosystem.
Pioneering Brain-Computer Interfaces
One of the most ambitious pursuits involves brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). Altman revealed plans for OpenAI to enable humans to communicate directly with AI via thoughts, bypassing keyboards or screens. While Musk’s Neuralink currently leads in this field, OpenAI aims to compete by integrating their AI models directly into neural interfaces, potentially revolutionizing human-AI interaction.
