Jony Ive joins forces with OpenAI on AI hardware project

Jony Ive has teamed up with OpenAI to develop a cutting-edge artificial intelligence device, marking a significant expansion of his post-Apple ventures. The partnership emerged from discussions between Ive, the former head of design at Apple, and Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, facilitated by Brian Chesky, CEO of Airbnb.
