Sir Jony Ive, the renowned British designer behind Apple’s iconic products, is joining OpenAI in a $6.5 billion deal, with plans to reimagine AI-powered computers. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman expressed excitement about collaborating with Ive, who will take on significant design responsibilities, and hinted at a new family of devices already in development. This partnership comes after Ive’s departure from Apple in 2019, and aims to create a hardware platform independent of dominant ecosystems like Apple iOS and Google Android.
