誓要打造全新AI硬件!OpenAI斥資65億美元,拿下初創公司io
格隆匯 05-22 09:06

當地時間週三,OpenAI宣佈,以近65億美元收購由前蘋果首席設計官喬尼·艾維 (Jony Ive) 創立的AI設備初創公司io,聯手進軍硬件領域。

此次收購是OpenAI歷史上規模最大的一筆交易,將爲公司提供一個專門開發AI設備的部門。

該交易預計將於今年夏天完成,但需獲得監管部門的批準。

收購io將爲OpenAI帶來約55名硬件工程師、軟件開發人員和製造專家,這支團隊將打造Ive和Altman所期望的一系列設備。

打造全新AI硬件產品

OpenAI CEO Altman表示,OpenAI將打造一款“消費級硬件領域前所未有的”高質量產品。

他表示:“就人類所能做的事情而言,人工智能是一個巨大的飛躍,它需要一種新的計算形式才能最大限度地發揮其潛力。”

Ive預計,他們的首款設備將是一款真正新穎的產品,將於2026年亮相。

Ive指出:“人們對新事物充滿渴望,這反映出我們對現狀的某種不安。”

多年來,Jony Ive與喬布斯並肩作戰,喬布斯曾將稱他爲自己的“精神伴侶”。除了iPod、iPad和Apple Watch之外,他還設計了現代智能手機的外觀和風格。

2019年,Jony Ive離開蘋果。離開蘋果時,蘋果首席執行官庫克曾提出雙方將繼續合作的想法,但之後雙方並未合作發佈過任何產品。

去年,他與蘋果前員工Scott Cannon、Evans Hankey和Tang Tan共同創立了io。

蘋果挑戰加劇

Jony Ive與OpenAI聯手加劇了蘋果的挑戰,該公司在AI領域已經落後於硅谷同行。

Rabbit R1、Humane、Meta的Ray-Ban智能眼鏡......不斷誕生的AI硬件可能會威脅其iPhone業務。

本月早些時候,蘋果服務主管Eddy Cue曾表示,他認爲AI設備可能在10年內取代 iPhone。

Eddy Cue表示:“AI是一項新的技術變革,它正在爲新進入者創造新的機遇。”

不過,Ive和Altman卻認爲iPhone不會很快消失。

Altman表示:“就像智能手機沒有讓筆記本電腦消失一樣,我認爲我們的第一款產品也不會讓智能手機消失,這是一種全新的事物。

Ive補充稱,就目前而言,手機是一款非凡的通用設備,但人們將以“全新方式”與AI連接。

資深蘋果分析師Gene Munster在X上發文稱:“互聯網、智能手機和人工智能等技術變革每一代人只會發生一次。OpenAI正在催化這一轉變,使其成爲切實可行的成果。”
