OpenAI Eyes AI Device Production with Apple Suppliers

OpenAI Eyes AI Device Production with Apple Suppliers

OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, is looking to build its own AI devices, potentially a speaker without a screen.

They've hired a lot of people from Apple, and have secured contracts with suppliers like Luxshare and Goertek, who already make parts for Apple's products such as iPhones and Apple Watches.

OpenAI previously acquired io Products, an AI hardware startup.

The company is making moves to create their own consumer AI products.
