In particular, with the advent of the ‘on-device AI’ era in which AI functions can be used directly on the device itself without an Internet connection, starting with Samsung Electronics’ Galaxy S24, various types of smartphone replacement devices are expected to be released in the future.
“Just say the word…why bother using the app”… AI new product
Video = Humane homepage According to the industry on the 16th, one of the devices that attracted the attention of visitors at the world’s largest mobile communication exhibition ‘MWC 2024’, which closed at the end of last month, was ‘AI Pin’, a wearable device from AI startup Humane. . This company is a startup founded in 2018 by former Apple designers Imran Chaudhry and Bethany Bongiorno to create devices that replace smartphones.
This AI pin is a device that is attached to the lapel and purports to be an AI assistant. Rather than using it through an app-based display like existing smartphones, it uses OpenAI’s GPT-4 model to provide necessary services. The display is replaced by the user’s palm. When you place your palm near the AI pin, a screen appears using a laser and displays the date and clock. Users can make calls or send texts using hand gestures and voice. If you hold food close and ask regarding the calories, the camera recognizes it and provides nutritional information.

Recently, SK Telecom signed a business agreement (MOU) with Humain and established a cooperative relationship. AI Pin is currently being sold only in the United States, and its price is $699 (regarding 930,000 won).
Another device that attracted attention at ‘MWC 2024’ is the ultra-small AI device ‘R1’ weighing 115g from startup Rabbit, which was founded in 2020. The R1 was so popular that 10,000 units were sold in just one day of pre-sale following its release. Unlike the AI Pin, which boldly eliminated the display, the R1 is equipped with a small 2.88-inch touch screen.
It has a built-in microphone and speaker, and you can instruct tasks using voice commands by pressing the right button. You can use a variety of functions, including making calls, sending messages, and playing music. You can also answer questions and continue conversations like ChatGPT through the self-developed ‘LAM (Large Action Model)’. It is convenient because you do not have to search for each and every app you need like with current smartphones. The price is $199, which is $500 cheaper than AI Pin. Video = Baidu Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft (MS), said regarding R1 at the Davos Forum in January, “This is the most impressive presentation I have seen since Steve Jobs announced the iPhone,” and “R1 foretells future AI trends.” “It will become a mainstream form of AI system,” he praised.
“It will completely change in 5 years”… Are smartphones and apps becoming ‘relics of the past’?
Visitors are looking at app-free AI smartphones at the Deutsche Telekom booth set up at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024 exhibition hall, the world’s largest mobile communications exhibition held in Fira Gran Via, Barcelona, Spain. Photo = News 1 Germany’s Deutsche Telekom, in collaboration with AI startup Brain.ai, unveiled a new concept AI mobile phone ‘T Phone’ at ‘MWC 2024’. This phone has no apps and has only 2 gigabytes (GB) of memory. The work is based on AI and is performed using a large language model (LLM). If the user commands with a voice command, “Book a train ticket from Seoul to Busan,” the ticket will be purchased automatically. In addition, tasks such as planning a trip, shopping, making videos, and editing photos can all be done with voice commands. Deutsche Telekom explained, “Artificial intelligence assistants might replace many apps on smartphones.” Jon Abrahamson, the company’s head of digital, said, “Artificial intelligence and LLM (Large Language Models) will soon dominate mobile devices.” “It will become an essential part of the future.” Photo = Getty Images Bank Chat With the generative AI revolution brought regarding by GPT, some in the information technology (IT) industry are predicting that the smartphone era will soon come to an end. As the era of ‘on-device AI’ approaches, the current smartphone environment in which all services are run through apps may not be sustainable. It is expected that a large number of AI devices that are more intuitive than the current ones will be released. Jesse Ryu, founder of Rabbit The CEO pointed out, “Current smartphone interfaces are not intuitive, and there are too many non-interactive apps,” and emphasized, “R1 puts AI in your pocket.”
The outlook for global IT giants also lends strength to this prediction. “Five to 10 years from now, none of us will be using mobile phone apps anymore,” said Tim Hoettges, Chairman of Deutsche Telekom, in his keynote speech at this year’s MWC2024.
Bill Gates also said in an interview with CNN in the U.S. in January of this year, “With the development of AI, the situation will completely change in the next five years. There will be no need to use different apps for each task, and you can do what you want to do on your device in everyday language.” “All you have to do is speak. In the near future, everyone will have a personal assistant powered by AI,” he predicted. He then added that agents were mentioned and studied 30 years ago in the 1995 book ‘The Road Ahead’, but agents have only recently been put into practical use due to the development of AI. He said, “In the near future, anyone will be able to have a personal assistant powered by AI that goes far beyond today’s technology.” Bill Gates. picture. / Bill Gates SNS Reporter Jo Ara Hankyung.com rrang123@hankyung.com
