A new AI device touted as an antidote to our smartphone addiction appears to have flopped on launch with one expert calling it the “worst product I’ve ever reviewed”.
The Humane AI Pin is a $700 screenless, wearable computer that clips to your clothes. It has a camera, microphone, speaker, sensors and laser projector and you interact with it by talking. Instead of pulling out your phone to search the internet, call, text or email, you just tell the Pin to do it.
The company Humane, co-founded by a Briton who used to work at Apple, said it is the “first wearable device and software platform built to harness the full power of artificial intelligence”.
