If you\u2019re trying to find more information about OpenAI and its partnership with Jony Ive\u2019s io company, you won\u2019t find it on its website due to a lawsuit. No, we\u2019re not talking about a lawsuit between Ive and OpenAI, but rather a lawsuit filed by Iyo over an alleged trademark infringement.<\/p>\n
OpenAI and io\u2019s lawsuit<\/p>\n
If you navigate to OpenAI\u2019s website to read about the deal between Ive and OpenAI\u2019s CEO, Sam Altman, the page now shows a message. The message states, \u201cThis page is temporarily down due to a court order following a trademark complaint from iyO about our use of the name \u2018io.\u2019 We don\u2019t agree with the complaint and are reviewing our options.\u201d<\/p>\n
This doesn\u2019t mean that the deal is dead. OpenAI tells The Verge that the deal is still happening. However, because of the lawsuit, it cannot mention the name \u201cio\u201d on its website. For those unfamiliar, Iyo is a hearing device startup that came from Google\u2019s moonshot factory. While the names and their intentions are different, we kind of see their point since pronouncing their names is similar and could create confusion.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re not sure what will happen next or if OpenAI and Ive\u2019s io company will be forced to use a different name. Either way, we\u2019ll have to wait and see.<\/p>\n
OpenAI\u2019s deal with Jony Ive<\/p>\n
In case you\u2019re hearing about this for the first time, Ive and Altman announced a partnership back in April. Under this partnership, Ive and Altman want to create dedicated AI hardware. OpenAI will pay $6.5 billion to acquire Ive\u2019s company.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The details on the device are murky right now. However, sources have indicated it won\u2019t be a wearable like the Rabbit R1. Some have suggested it could be a screenless phone. This makes sense, especially if AI is involved, since AI would do most of the heavy lifting without our input.<\/p>\n
We have to say that we are pretty excited to see what Altman and Ive will churn out. Smartphones have been around for a while now. Most of the upgrades these days are marginal at best, so maybe it\u2019s time for some disruptive tech. In fact, some analysts believe this is why Apple lagging behind in AI isn\u2019t such a big deal.<\/p>\n
It is because AI on our phones is added as an afterthought. Until a true AI-first device comes along, it might not be such a big deal that Apple Intelligence isn\u2019t on par with the competition yet.
