AR Glasses, AI Robotics, and the Future of AI Devices

What happens when OpenAI steps into the world of physical devices? In this episode, Robert and Haley dive into OpenAI’s latest hire: Caitlin Kalinowski, former hardware lead at Meta’s Reality Labs, now set to shape OpenAI’s robotics and consumer hardware division. Kalinowski’s expertise in AR glasses, notably Meta’s Orion prototype, brings fresh momentum to OpenAI’s vision of bringing AI into the physical world.

We'll explore:

• OpenAI’s Hardware Strategy: With Kalinowski’s leadership, what new products might OpenAI have in store? How could robotics and AI devices redefine our daily interactions with AI?
• The Altman-Ive Connection: OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has been collaborating with Apple’s Jony Ive on AI-driven hardware. Could OpenAI’s next big move be smart glasses or AI-embedded earphones?
• The Rise of AI-Powered Devices: From Humane’s AI pin to Opal’s webcams, we examine the consumer tech landscape and how OpenAI could influence devices of the future.

This episode gets to the heart of OpenAI’s ambitions to bridge virtual intelligence and physical experiences. Robert and Haley break down what this could mean for AI in our everyday lives, from robotic helpers to augmented vision.
