Humane: Making Technology Invisible

Humane is a company that aims to make technology invisible. In this article, we will discuss Humane and their AI product. We will also talk about the challenges they may be facing soon and give an update on some of their strategic collaborations.

The Co-Founder of Humane

Imran, the co-founder of Humane, spent 22 years at Apple working on the Mac, iPhone, and Apple Watch. He Mentioned three things he wants to achieve with Humane's AI product. Firstly, he wants to make technology feel invisible. Secondly, he is striving for a personalized form of memory. Lastly, he wants AI to work at the speed of thought.

Making Technology Invisible

Some believe that AR/VR glasses are the answer to making technology invisible. However, Imran is not a fan of VR as it creates a further barrier between You and the world. Instead, he has an alternative solution. Humane's product is a new kind of wearable device that is built entirely from the ground up for artificial intelligence. It is completely stand-alone, and you don't need a smartphone or any other device to pair with it. It interacts with the world the way you interact with the world, hearing what you hear and seeing what you see while being privacy-first, safe, and completely fading into the background of your life. The experience is screenless, seamless, and sensing, allowing you to access the power of compute while remaining present in your surroundings.

Personalized Form of Memory

The more you use Humane's device powered by AI, the more it can help you in all times of need. Your AI effectively becomes an ever-evolving personalized form of memory. For example, if you're health-conscious or have certain types of food considerations, Humane's AI can help you make better decisions. It can even tell you if you can eat a particular food or not.

The Future of AR/VR

Imran believes that AR/VR glasses are not the future of technology. They mainly move the screens we already have in our lives today to being just millimeters away from our eyeballs. This creates a further barrier between you and the world. The future of technology is not on your face.

Humane's AI Product

Humane's AI product is a new kind of wearable device that is built entirely from the ground up for artificial intelligence. It is completely stand-alone, and you don't need a smartphone or any other device to pair with it. It interacts with the world the way you interact with the world, hearing what you hear and seeing what you see while being privacy-first, safe, and completely fading into the background of your life.

Challenges Faced by Humane

One of the challenges faced by Humane is that it is a wearable device. Notice how Imran is wearing a jacket in the demo. What if you're wearing a shirt? Clipping the device on there might be a bit weird. Another challenge is the question of what the future of your everyday carry is going to be. A phone plus a device? What if the iPhone is able to do something similar? Wouldn't most people prefer to have one device, the phone, versus worrying about another one? Voice tech has gotten much better compared to years ago, but how many people are open to speaking to something like Siri outside, even at the privacy of your home? Humane is betting that their tech and their products are going to be so good that people will start changing their social behaviors. That's a big challenge that they face.

Strategic Collaborations

Humane has partnered with Microsoft to bring its services platform to market. This will see Humane leverage the best cloud infrastructure in AI. A collaboration with OpenAI will integrate its technology into the Humane device and deliver OpenAI and Humane AI experiences at Scale to consumers. Humane's future global expansion plans include a collaboration with SK Networks, which covers the ICT device distribution business in Korea and has an extensive global network to build on the shared ethos of creating Meaningful change in consumer technologies. Humane is also exploring ways to bring this into our personal lives. A collaboration with LG will see the companies working closely on potential R&D projects for the next phase of Humane products on the Core technology included in future Humane devices and on integration into the home technology space. Strategic investor Volvo Cars Tech Fund will work with Humane on a potential future collaboration, which would be the first example of Humane's offering being applied to the automotive industry.

The Future of AI

As AI advances, we will see how it will transform nearly every aspect of our lives in ways that will seem unimaginable right now. Humane's AI product is just the start, and these examples are just the beginning. The future of technology might almost be invisible.
