AI has already become a promising technology, demonstrating the convenience it can add to daily life, letting people automate different tasks and get a more satisfactory experience. With mobiles, computers, smartphones, cameras, glasses, rings, and watches, the world has seen a vast implementation of AI technology over the last few years, and the latest addition to the list is an Ai pin. A San Francisco-based tech innovating company, Humane Inc., has announced the soon-to-be-placed launch event, either at the end of March or in early April.

What is Ai Pin?

A tiny, superlight, and lightweight wearable device, the Ai pin integrates AI technology, a projector, and numerous sensors to bring up a few cutting-edge functionalities, which can be intuitive or natural. However, where this brilliant AI Pin shines the most is its capacity to act like a smartphone, at a level of efficacy that people have termed it “a smartphone killer pin,” without even using a screen or a digital interface. The world is about to observe how a small peck of a pin can replace screen scrolling.

The pin turns on when touched and takes directives from the user's voice or hand gesture. It will take directive over voice command and run applications or provide information with the power of a sublime Ai with oral interaction capacity.

Invention of Ai Pin

The whole idea of the Ai Pin has taken birth from two extraordinary minds- Imran Chaudhri, CEO of Humane Inc., and his wife, Bethany Bongiorno. The couple said their prime goal was to free humanity from smartphone addiction. Soon, the AI Pin will hit the market under the banner of Humane, founded by a couple of ex-app executives, giving them a proper chance to achieve their goal.

With people bolstering the positive and limited sides of the device, Humane and several more big-name companies like Microsoft, OpenAi, and so on have visioned potentiality in the idea of an Ai device that users can clip to their clothes.

Imran Chaudhri and Bethany Bongiorno have combined a handful of modern technologies, such as app development, networking, cloud computing, databases, laser projections, etc., underneath their latest innovation. Each technology will work jointly with the rest and provide the ultimate result — communication with a user through projecting a laser diagram on the user’s palm and voice command.
