Why the Next Generation of AI Hardware can be your Smartwatch, ft. Apple's watchOS. 24th Feb, 2024

 Overview

Companies are increasingly exploring AI hardware as a means to embed intelligence directly into devices, enabling more sophisticated, real-time interactions and processing without relying on cloud connectivity. This trend towards localized, efficient AI computation represents a significant shift in how technology interfaces with our daily lives, offering enhanced privacy, speed, and personalized user experiences.

The Humane AI Pin and Rabbit R1 represent intriguing advancements in the realm of wearable AI technology, each bringing its unique features to the table. The Humane AI Pin, for instance, is designed to be a wearable camera that seamlessly integrates into your daily life, capturing photos, and videos with a simple gesture. It also boasts an innovative Laser Ink Display, projecting information directly onto the palm of your hand, eliminating the need for a traditional screen. Its AI capabilities extend to recognizing voice commands, translating languages, and even summarizing messages and calls, aiming to make digital interactions more natural and intuitive.

The Rabbit R1 stands out for its unique Large Action Model (LAM) that enables it to perform tasks directly in mobile apps, a distinction from devices like the Humane AI Pin. It runs on Rabbit OS, which eschews traditional apps for a model that learns and performs tasks via voice commands. Hardware-wise, it features a 2.3GHz MediaTek Helio P35 processor, 4GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and offers all-day battery life, USB-C connectivity, a touchscreen, and a SIM slot, priced at $199. 

But, Why is there a necessary for an AI Hardware?

The capabilities of AI hardware like Rabbit and Humane introduce novel functionalities, but it prompts the question: are these necessary when we have a device that is wildly popular, growing its market every year? I'm talking about Smartwatches. Imagine a smartwatch equipped with the full suite of AI functionalities that devices such as Rabbit R1 and Humane AI Pin offer. This integration into an already familiar and widely adopted device could streamline our digital interactions even further.

 

 

 

Let's take Apple Watch as one example. The Apple Watch, the world's most popular smartwatch, exemplifies this potential. With a commanding 34.1% global market share in Q4 2022 and representing 60% of the smartwatch market's revenue in the same year, it's clear that the Apple Watch is not just a leader in the space but also a blueprint for the future of wearable AI integration. Apple sells around 40 million Apple Watches per year, according to estimates . Imagine AI features of Rabbit R1 on apple watch, wild right?
