Summary
OpenAI is reportedly developing its first hardware product - a smart speaker with a camera that will cost $200-$300. The device will feature object recognition capabilities to identify items on nearby surfaces and conversations in the vicinity, along with facial recognition similar to Face ID for purchases. OpenAI acquired Jony Ive's hardware company for $6.5 billion last year, and additional hardware products like smart glasses and smart lamps are also in development.
