Summary

  • Humane, a US-based start-up that developed the AI Pin wearable device, sold most of the company to HP for $116m, after the gadget failed to gain popularity following its launch in April 2024.
  • The Pin will no longer connect to Humane’s servers after 28 February, and many of its features will be deactivated because of this.
  • The device’s creators, Imran Chaudhri and Bethany Bongiorno, will join HP to create a new division for integrating AI into personal computers, printers and connected conference rooms.
  • Chaudhri was formerly the head of industrial design at Apple until he left in 2016.
  • Bongiorno was previously the head of new initiatives at Salesforce.
