    • Humane, an artificial intelligence (AI) solutions-focused company, was founded by former Apple employees Imran Chaudhri and Bethany Bongiorno in 2016 and is headquartered in San Francisco, California.
    • Humane’s product line includes AI-powered virtual assistants, intelligent automation tools, and customer support solutions. One of Humane’s notable projects is the development of a new kind of AI system called the “Humane AI PIN” (Personal Intelligence Network).
    • Humane AI PIN, which is officially described as an “apparel-based wearable” powered by Qualcomm’s “advanced Snapdragon platform” uses an array of sensors to enable “contextual and ambient computing interactions.” The price for the AI PIN Complete System starts at $699.

    The Humane AI PIN, developed by the company Humane, was a hot product this year, and the startup Humane also kept a conservative eye on it, representing a new approach to artificial intelligence systems designed to prioritise user privacy, control, and ethical considerations.

    AI startup company Humane

    Humane, formerly known as Humans For AI, is an artificial intelligence (AI) solutions-focused company founded in 2016 and headquartered in San Francisco, California. Humane’s mission is to use artificial intelligence technology to provide businesses and organisations with humane, scalable solutions.

    Humane was founded by former Apple employees Imran Chaudhri and Bethany Bongiorno. Together, they envision a smarter, more personal future, rethinking, rethinking, and remembering honest human relationships in the computing environment, and are committed to building humanity and reshaping the role of technology in our lives.

    Imran Chaudhri, who has worked at Apple for more than 20 years, is best known for inventing the groundbreaking user interface and interaction on the iPhone and has been named an inventor on thousands of patents. He conceived and created some of the world’s most popular consumer products, such as the Macintosh, iPod, iPad, Apple Watch and iPhone.

    Bethany Bongiorno has led teams on some of Apple’s transformative products as Director of Software Engineering, where she is responsible for all software project management for iOS and macOS.

    Humane’s product line includes AI-powered virtual assistants, intelligent automation tools, and customer support solutions. These products are designed to help businesses increase productivity, reduce costs and improve the customer experience. In addition, the company is committed to researching and developing new artificial intelligence technologies to meet the changing market needs.

    Humane AI PIN

    Late last year, the company released its first product, Humane AI PIN, which is officially described as an “apparel-based wearable” powered by Qualcomm’s “advanced Snapdragon platform” and uses an array of sensors to enable “contextual and ambient computing interactions.” The price for the AI PI*N Complete System starts at $699.

    Humane AI PIN can be seen as a new kind of AI system and a personal intelligence network. This AI system is designed to assist users in managing their digital lives while prioritising privacy, security, and user control. The Humane AI PIN aims to empower individuals to interact with technology in a more human-centric and personalised manner, enhancing user experience without compromising ethical standards.

    OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, along with companies like Microsoft and Salesforce, are betting that AI hardware like the AI PIN will be the next big thing after the smartphone, leading to a $240 million funding round for Humane.

    Humane says the goal of its AI PIN is to provide technology that helps people avoid screens and maintain eye contact. 

    The AI PIN doesn’t have a screen, users can set up accounts and other Settings on Humane’s website. To unlock the device with a passcode, reach out and project a green laser onto your palm. Pulling outward increases the number, pulling inward decreases it, and each number can be selected by pinching two fingers of the same hand. The laser can also be used to adjust other settings, such as connecting to a Wi-Fi network, and it can display text transcripts of the virtual assistant’s answers.

    In addition to unlocking the PIN with a laser, the AI PIN can also be controlled with finger clicks and voice. The AI PIN can also translate conversations into another language in real-time. However, in real practice, language barriers and translation errors still exist.
