Legal deposits submitted earlier this month from lawyers represent Openai and Jony Ive’s IO new details about companies’ efforts to build AI devices in the market.
These deposits are part of a lawsuit from the brands dispute that IYO filed this month, a Google -backed company supported by Google to develop specially announced earplves connected to other devices. During the weekend, Openai withdrew promotional materials related to its acquisition of $ 6.5 billion on the start of IO IVE to comply with the court order participating in the case. Openai says it fights IYO allegations about violating brands.
During the past year, Executive officials at Openai and former Apple leaders who are now working in IO have discussed devices inside the ear, according to the stadiums submitted in the IYO suit. In a file on June 12, lawyers representing Openai and IO said that companies bought at least 30 headphones from various companies to explore what is on the market today. In recent months, Openai and IO executives have also met with IYO and have collected their technology inside the ear, according to emails that were revealed in the case.
However, the first Openai in cooperation with IO may not be a pair of headphones at all.
Tang Tan, CEO of Apple has long participated in the establishment of IO and held the position of senior devices employee at the start of operation, in an announcement by the court that Openai CEO, CEO of Openai, stated SAM Altman in IO’s launch video, “It is not an ear device, nor a device that can be worn.” Tan notes that the design of the initial model mentioned in not being completed and that the product is at least a year away from the advertisement or offered it for sale.
The Openai and IO system factor has been largely for devices. Altman only stated in IO’s launch video that the startup was working to create a “family” of artificial intelligence devices with different capabilities, and Ive said the first initial model for IO “has completely seized his imagination.
Altman had previously told Openai’s employees at a meeting that the initial model of the company, upon completion, would be able to reconcile in a pocket or sit on an office, according to the Wall Street Journal. According to Openai CEO, the device will be fully aware of the user’s surroundings and that it will be a “third device” for consumers to use it along with their smartphones and laptops.
“Our intention to this cooperation was, which is, the creation of products that exceed traditional products and interfaces,” Germans said in a court announcement on June 12.
Lawyers who represent Openai also said in a file that the company had explored a wide range of devices, including songs that were “based on desktop and mobile, wireless, wireless, can be worn and mobile.”
Although smart glasses have appeared as a front commander of devices that support artificial intelligence, with companies like Meta and Google Racing to develop the first pair adopted on a large scale, many companies also explore headphones that support artificial intelligence. According to what Apple works on AirPods with cameras, which would help operate artificial intelligence features by collecting information about the surrounding environment.
In recent months, Openai and IO executives have conducted a major research in ear products.
On May 1, Vice Vice president of Openai, Peter Winnder, Tan met with IYO CEO, Jason Rugolo, to learn more about IYO product inside the ear, according to an invitation sent via e -mail that was revealed in the case. The meeting was held at the IO office in Jackson Square, San Francisco neighborhood, where IVE bought many buildings to work on lovefrom and IO.
At the meeting, the rationality of Tan tested the ear set for IYO, but was disappointed when the producer failed again and again during the demonstrations, according to the follow -up emails that were revealed in the case.
In his announcement, Tan claims that he met with Rogolo as a compliment to his teacher, Steve Zadisky, CEO of Apple long ago, who recommended that he take the meeting. Tan also claims that he has taken several reserves to avoid learning a lot about IYO, such as noting that his lawyer displays his articles before he does so.
However, it seems that Openai and IO employees believe they can learn something from one of IYO partners. To customize the headphones in the ear, IYO sends a specialist from an ear, ear project, to a person’s house or office for a detailed map of a person’s ear.
In an email message revealed in the case, Marwan Rama, a former Apple engineer who is now working in IO, told that purchasing a large database of 3D scannings from the ear project can give the company “a useful starting point in the work environment.” It is unclear whether any deal has occurred.
Rugolo repeatedly tried to formulate a deeper relationship between IYO, IO and Openai – but he has significantly failed, according to email messages. Openai has placed the IYO launch as an early AI’s early romant. The deposits said that at some point, Openai offered to invest in IYO, and at one time, his entire company was offered for $ 200 million. However, Tan said in his announcement that he rejected these offers.
“IO is not working on a” specially complicated ear product. “
The ChatGPT maker seems more than a year of selling the first device device, which may not be a producer inside the ear at all. Given what the company said in this lawsuit, it seems to explore other factors.
