OpenAI Builds Family of AI Devices for 2027 Launch Window

2 articles · Updated · The Verge · Jul 29

Greg Brockman said OpenAI is developing a “family of devices” for interacting with its AI models, but gave no product specifics or release date beyond saying they are coming soon.
2027 remains only an unconfirmed marker: Brockman did not verify reports of a smart speaker or earlier rumors of a wearable akin to the Humane AI Pin.
Voice is central to the effort, with Brockman arguing users will talk to computers rather than type for the vast majority of tasks, even as open-office use remains awkward.
Jony Ive’s device work stayed in the background as Brockman brushed off questions about Apple’s lawsuit and said OpenAI is pursuing its own technology without using rivals’ trade secrets.
Trust is another parallel focus, with OpenAI working on “verifiable, auditable guarantees” so only the AI can review private user data in features such as temporary chat.
