OpenAI's Screenless, Mobile AI Speaker with Autonomous Movement Revealed
OpenAI is developing a screenless, mobile AI speaker with autonomous movement capabilities designed to function as a home-based AI companion. The device, reportedly involving former Apple engineers, faces ongoing legal challenges with Apple over trade secret allegations.
The device is weirdly described as involving "mechanical elements that can move on their own" and the Bloomberg report includes the detail that the device is designed to "feel like a companion and become a physical manifestation of OpenAI’s ChatGPT."
