AI systems can now see, think and understand language – yet users still interact with them through keyboards and touchscreens designed for an older era.
This disconnect has created fierce competition amongst technology companies to develop the first truly AI-native hardware.
But as innovative devices roll out across leading tech giants, from smartphones to Vision Pro headsets,
AI develops again and again – and now, the challenge for the companies is increasing pressure to identify hardware opportunities beyond smartphones as AI evolution only speeds up.
However, as a result of this disconnect between AI potential and user experience, a rare opportunity has blossomed for companies willing to be brave enough to reimagine how people interact with intelligent systems.
