Not Just One: OpenAI Is Building a 'Family of Devices' for Its Chatbots
Greg Brockman said OpenAI is building multiple ChatGPT-branded gadgets and is focused on voice-based interaction and privacy safeguards.
- OpenAI President Greg Brockman confirmed the company is building a "family of devices" during a recent interview, prioritizing voice interactions to create "a far more natural way to interact with a machine."
- The hardware effort centers on Jony Ive, the former Apple design chief, with devices designed to be "capable of being fully aware of a user's surroundings and life" rather than screen-dependent.
- Apple is currently suing OpenAI, alleging former employees stole trade secrets; Brockman denied the claims, stating the company is "focused on our own development and technology."
- OpenAI aims for hundreds of millions of shipments annually to challenge smartphone dominance, though Brockman confirmed devices are "coming soon" without providing a specific release date.
- Competitors like Meta, Amazon, and Google have established hardware positions in a crowded market, leaving OpenAI dependent on its massive ChatGPT user base for differentiation.
