OpenAI’s hardware challenges Apple despite legal dispute

OpenAI is developing a screenless, mobile AI speaker designed to serve as a proactive “human-like companion” in the home. The device uses mechanical components to move and accesses digital data, such as e-mails, to provide personalized services.

While OpenAI aims to create a physical version of ChatGPT with this project, the company is simultaneously facing a lawsuit from Apple over the alleged theft of trade secrets.
