OpenAI Enters the Smart Devices World by 2027

OpenAI Enters the Smart Devices World.. A Camera-Equipped Speaker That Monitors Your Surroundings by 2027

Recent reports indicate that OpenAI is working on developing a range of AI-powered devices, in a move that represents a strategic shift from software to hardware. According to what was reported by The Information, more than 200 employees within the company are participating in the design of these new products, the flagship of which will be a smart speaker equipped with a camera.

According to informed sources, the smart speaker is expected to be priced between $200 and $300, with its market launch set for no later than February 2027.

The anticipated device will not be a conventional speaker; rather, it will rely on advanced computer vision technologies, as it will contain a camera capable of analyzing the user's surrounding environment, including recognizing objects on a nearby table or even understanding the context of ongoing conversations in the space. It will also feature a facial recognition system similar to Face ID, enabling purchases and identity verification directly through the device.

This move comes after OpenAI officially entered the hardware market through its acquisition of the startup io Products, founded by the renowned designer Jony Ive — one of the most prominent figures who previously led product design at Apple — in a deal valued at $6.5 billion. Through this expansion, the company aims to capitalize on the rapid growth in the fields of Embodied AI and augmented reality technologies.

The report also noted that OpenAI is working on developing smart glasses, though they are unlikely to be ready for mass commercial production before 2028. This comes amid intensifying competition in this sector, where Meta has made notable progress, while both Apple and Google are seeking to enter the race with their own devices.

With these steps, it appears that OpenAI is preparing to transition from being a software company leading the AI revolution to becoming a key player in the smart devices market connected to users' daily reality.
