Humane AI Pin Could Launch in India Soon, Suggests Co-Founder Imran Chaudhri: Report

Humane AI Pin was recently showcased at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024 in its first public viewing since it was launched in November 2023 exclusively in the US. The artificial intelligence (AI)-powered device, with a unique form factor and no display panel, quickly gained global attention. And while other markets wait for the device to be launched, a new report suggests that the AI Pin could make its debut in India soon. Humane is the brainchild of Co-founders and ex-Apple employees Imran Chaudhri and his wife Bethany Bongiorno.

In an interview with Times Now Tech, Chaudhri, President and Chairman, Humane revealed the startup’s plans to bring the AI Pin to India eventually. He said, “We have been really impressed with the demand. We have seen the biggest interest for device in India. We are trying to figure out how to get in India and make sure we are culturally appropriate in terms of the types of things Indian customers want from their services.”

As per the report, the husband-wife duo will also spend some time in the country to better understand user behaviour and pain points to improve the AI Pin further before introducing it in India. For now, the startup is focused on delivering the first batch of devices to the customers in the US. It will start shipping pre-ordered units in March, and the first AI Pin is expected to be delivered in April 2024.

The Humane AI Pin is an interesting device. It was the first announced device that was entirely built using AI, followed by Rabbit’s R1 and the app-less AI smartphone by Deutsche Telekom that was showcased at MWC. Touted as a “smartphone without a screen”, the AI Pin is a boxy device that features a 13-megapixel camera with a 120-degree field-of-view, a speaker, a microphone, and multiple sensors. It also sports a laser ink display that can project visual information on a flat surface, or even on a user’s palm.

It is powered by an unnamed Snapdragon chipset for on-device AI capabilities, paired with 4GB RAM and 32GB inbuilt storage. The AI engine on the device is OpenAI’s GPT-4. On connectivity, it comes with support for 4G (eSIM), dual-band Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.1, and GPS.

AI Pin is capable of a diverse set of functionalities. It can draft and send emails, messages, and posts with verbal prompts, recommend songs and playlists, answer queries, search the internet, summarise texts, and even share information about an object in front of the user, such as a car or a restaurant.

Humane AI Pin With GPT-4-Powered AI Features, Built-In Camera Launched: Price, Specifications

Humane on Thursday launched the AI Pin as the first artificial intelligence-powered product from the firm founded by former Apple employee Imran Chaudhri. The company touts the AI pin as the world’s first contextual computer and the wearable device offers features that are powered by OpenAI’s GPT-4 and it can be attached to your shirt or blouse using magnets, similar to a body-worn camera. It supports voice calling and texting, and is capable of capturing images and projecting an interactive user interface on your palm — instead of relying on a touchscreen panel.

The Humane AI Pin is priced at $699 (roughly Rs. 58,200) and the device will be available for pre-order in the US starting November 16 — it is expected to be available in 2024. The AI Pin is available in an Eclipse, Equinox, and Lunar colour options 

Customers will also have to pay a $24 (roughly Rs. 2,000) monthly subscription fee that will provide network access via T-Mobile in the US. Humane is yet to announce details of pricing and availability in other markets.

Humane says that the AI Pin is designed to reduce dependency on smartphones, and the wearable doesn’t have a display of its own. Instead, it uses a laser beam scanning projection system
to beam its own interactive Laser Ink Display onto your palm. It is also equipped with a touchpad with support for gestures that can quickly launch different AI-powered tasks, according to Humane.

AI tasks on the wearable device will be powered by OpenAI’s GPT-4 model, according to the company. These include AI-powered language translation, voice messaging, and viewing concise summaries of meetings. For photos, the wearable device is equipped with a 13-megapixel (4,208×3,120 pixels) camera with a 120-degree field-of-view and an f/2.4 aperture. Support for video capture is expected to arrive at a later date, according to the company’s website — presumably via a software update. 

The AI Pin is powered by an unspecified octa-core 2.1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon chip with support for on-device AI operations, along with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of eMMC storage. Connectivity options on the wearable include 4G (eSIM), dual-band Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.1, and GPS. Sensors on board include an accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, and an ambient light sensor.

According to Humane, the AI Pin runs on an unspecified lithium-ion battery and supports a proprietary wireless charging method. In order to protect the privacy of people in the presence of a user wearing an AI Pin, Humane says it has equipped the device with a Trust Light — an LED indicator that glows green when an image is being captured, pink when on a phone call, and orange and white when the microphone and scan features are in use, respectively.
