The impact of AI technology is becoming increasingly significant.
Ever since the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022, businesses have been striving to leverage the growing interest in AI. Tech giants such as Meta and Google have delved into advanced language models, while AI companies are securing substantial investments to develop tools that enhance efficiency and save time.
Some companies are taking AI integration to the next level by incorporating it into innovative consumer products. This new frontier of technological innovation in electronics is seen as a lucrative opportunity by industry leaders, according to tech analyst John Ives.
Several notable projects have been shrouded in secrecy.
Speculations suggest that Jony Ives, the design maestro behind the iPhone, and Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, are collaborating on a revolutionary consumer AI device. Apple is reportedly integrating AI capabilities into its iPhone, iPad, and MacOS as part of its ongoing AI initiatives. Details about these projects are still under wraps.
However, some companies have already taken the lead in unveiling their cutting-edge AI products. Below are the six AI-powered devices introduced since the inception of ChatGPT:
Rabbit’s R1, starting at $99.
Rabbit’s compact AI system, the $199 R1, enables users to interact with smartphone and computer applications using voice commands.
The R1 is a portable AI device designed to streamline tasks typically performed through smartphone or computer apps.
With the R1, users can utilize applications like Uber and Rabbit to manage travel arrangements, book flights, and make reservations using voice commands, akin to using a walkie-talkie. Rabbit states that users can issue specific commands to the device for seamless execution.
Priced at $199, the R1 is available for pre-order, with the initial batch set to ship starting in March.
Meta’s Ray-Ban Smart Glasses, starting at $299.
Meta’s latest iteration of Ray-Ban Smart Glasses features an integrated AI assistant for enhanced functionality.
The newest generation of Meta’s smart glasses aims to simplify daily tasks with the inclusion of an AI assistant.
Released in September, these smart glasses come equipped with a built-in voice assistant activated by saying “Hey Meta.”
According to the tech giant, the AI assistant can make calls, send messages, provide search results, and offer AI-generated comments on Facebook and Instagram content.
Available in seven color options, the AI-powered glasses start at $299. Customized prescription lenses can be added for an additional cost.
Humane’s AI Pin, priced at $699.
Humane’s $699 AI Pin promises to bring a wealth of knowledge to your fingertips.
Humane’s AI Pin, a standalone device without a screen, offers a unique blend of functionality for both your hands and eyes.
Designed by former Apple employees, the AI Pin features a camera, microphones, speakers, a “trust light” that signals recording, and a small display for projecting information onto your hands. Powered by GPT-4, the advanced language model behind OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
Users can interact with the pin using voice commands to play music, answer queries, and receive contextual information through the device’s lens. Humane states that the device can provide details about the surrounding environment, such as nutritional information about food items when pointed at them.
Priced at \(699, the AI Pin is currently available for purchase, with an additional \)24 monthly fee for a dedicated phone number. Opting for a polished finish will incur an extra $100.
Shipments are expected to commence in March.
Samsung Galaxy S24, starting at $799.99.
Samsung’s Galaxy S24 lineup introduces new AI functionalities to enhance user experience.
For those less inclined towards smart AI devices, a smartphone with AI capabilities might be a preferable choice.
The Samsung Galaxy S24, the latest flagship model launched in January, features a “Circle to Search” function that allows users to identify objects in images by circling them and prompting the phone to provide information.
The device is particularly adept at recognizing products, celebrities, and certain landmarks in image searches, according to Business Insider.
Additionally, the S24 series offers AI-powered photo editing tools, enabling users to remove objects or individuals from photos seamlessly.
The base model of the Galaxy S24 is priced at \(799.99, while the top-tier variant, the Galaxy S24 Ultra, retails for \)1,299.
Prophetic’s Halo, priced at $2,000.
Prophetic introduces Halo, a $2,000 AI-powered headgear designed to enhance dream control.
The Halo, a revolutionary AI helmet, purportedly empowers users to influence their dreams, as claimed by Prophetic.
Worn during sleep, the Halo purportedly detects the user’s deep sleep phase and can trigger a series of instructions to transmit ultrasonic signals to the brain to induce specific dream scenarios.
Beta testers for the Halo, priced at $2,000, were selected through the company’s beta program. The extent to which real-world users have tested the helmet’s dream-controlling capabilities remains unclear.
