AI Pin

One device I didn’t expect to see at MWC 2024 in Barcelona was the Humane Ai Pin that was announced a few months ago. After all, Humane’s AI-powered gadget will only launch in the US and will also require a subscription to the company’s own MVNO wireless service.But this is a wearable device. It features built-in cellular service, and it’s built around AI. What better place to show it off than the biggest mobile show in the world?  I accidentally found the Ai Pin at Qualcomm’s booth while checking out the chip…

On November 10, Humane, a 2018-founded startup known for working with AI technology, unveiled its first product called Ai Pin, a clothing-based wearable gadget.

With a displayless design, which goes against the ethos of most consumer tech products, the company focuses on voice and laser ink…

Humane I should be so excited about the Humane AI Pin. It’s sci-fi-cool mobile tech wrapped up in a slick futuristic design with functionality that immediately makes me think of Star Trek. But when I really think about what it does and how it works, all I see is how it’s sucking all the fun out of smartphones, digital communication, and life in general. If it truly represents the future of mobile, then you can keep it. I’ll stick with my iPhone, and this is why. It’s very serious indeed Humane launches AI Pin (full…

Humane's Ai Pin is a unique device that can perform the majority of the tasks that a smartphone does, without a display or requiring to touch it even once.

Before we go any further, I’d like to shamelessly plug my cover story from our new Fast Company winter issue. It’s about Marques Brownlee (aka MKBHD), the definitive gadget critic of the YouTube age. To learn how a quiet New Jersey high school student became a trusted reviewer, online superstar, and founder of a growing media company, I spoke with everyone from Brownlee himself to tech-industry executives to someone with a unique perspective on his story: his mother.The story and two bonus articles are live on…
