Former Apple design chief Jony Ive is actively working with OpenAI on some form of hardware that uses artificial intelligence. In a conversation with Laurene Powell Jobs, Ive and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman revealed that the effort has apparently settled on a design for the device.
The conversation with Powell Jobs at the Emerson Collective Demo Day, published to YouTube on Monday, took some time to discuss their work under “io,” a startup that was bought by Altman’s OpenAi for $6.5 billion in equity.
