OpenAI Explores Humanoid Robots and Smart Tech - OpenAI's recent trademark application indicates possible ventures into AI-assisted hardware like headphones, smart jewelry, and humanoid robots. In collaboration with former Apple designer Jony Ive, OpenAI aims to develop AI-powered consumer hardware, projecting prototype development to take several years.
The filing suggests user-programmable humanoid robots with communication and learning abilities and considers custom AI chips and quantum computing. While these plans highlight OpenAI's exploratory domains, it remains uncertain if any will become commercially viable.
