OpenAI is building a family of devices, but do we really want voice computers?
openai is developing a 'family of devices' to run its ai, aiming to replace typing with voice interaction for the vast majority of tasks, according to president greg brockman.
openai president greg brockman confirmed the company is developing a 'family of devices' to host its ai models though he stopped short of confirming rumors of a 2027 smart speaker. he predicted a major interface shift where users will speak to computers rather than type for the 'vast majority' of tasks. brockman also dismissed concerns that apple's lawsuit would impact its hardware collaboration with jony ive. additionally, openai is developing 'verifiable, auditable guarantees' to address privacy concerns regarding its ai's access to user data.
