Summary
Jony Ive, the designer of Apple products including the iPhone, has said that he is preoccupied with the unintended consequences of the technology, and is driven to address them in his work.
Ive was speaking to Stripe CEO Patrick Collison during a behind-the-scenes look at the new Stripe terminal device, which uses Ive’s design company LoveFrom.
LoveFrom is collaborating with OpenAI to design a secret hardware product.
Ive said that while discussions about AI usually include appropriate safety concerns, there was no discussion of the consequences of social media.
He implied that the new device will utilise AI to provide benefits to users beyond those available using traditional software development.
