Ever wished your shoes had rockets attached for that instant zoom to work? Or dreamt of clothes that could change colors to match your mood? While we may have to wait a bit for those, a new high-tech gadget is here to transform your lapel into a sleek tech companion that can whisper the news, translate languages, take an optical look around, or even take calls.

 

The tiny Ai Pin with big features

The Humane Ai Pin was first revealed at the TED conference in April 2023, where co-founder Imran Chaudhri, a former Apple honcho, demonstrated some of its features, such as making phone calls, getting daily summaries, scanning food items, and projecting a green screen.

Not just a pretty pin

The device made another appearance at the Paris Fashion Week in September 2023, where it was worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell and other models during the Coperni Spring 2024 runway show.

The little pin that could

Now, fashion shows are known for their fair share of wild, out-there outfits, but this time around, it was this tiny pin that stole the spotlight. Unlike a giant hat that could shelter a family of four or shoes taller than a toddler, this little gadget promises to pack a punch in the tech department while staying stylish. Humane said that the collaboration with Coperni was based on their shared passion for design, creativity, and technology.

Fashion meets functionality

The Ai Pin is more than just a flashy accessory—it’s a screenless gadget packed with a mini-projector, camera, and speaker, aiming to weave AI into daily interactions. It can be pinned to your clothing and interact with your voice, gestures, and environment.

It’s showcasing features like AI-powered optical recognition and real-time language translation, all while prioritizing user privacy. Unlike some gadgets that are always on standby to listen for commands, the Ai Pin doesn’t have this ‘always-on’ listening feature, meaning it’s not constantly monitoring or recording what’s being said around it,

My caveat as a marketing product manager was always, "if you CAN make it do that it doesn't mean it will mean anything to the customer!" Those brilliant engineers get so excited about what they can do, for good reason. It was Marketing's job to keep them focused on the need and how we were filling it, and adding a couple extra features when possible. No one cared back then if your external hard drive had multiple colored lights inside! It seems that now the engineers are in charge and I call it the Ultimate Revenge of the Nerds. They're brilliant, mostly introverted, most likely feel like outcasts because finding others as engrossed in tech as they are is rare until college. They've been bullied, and now they have control over what we read, what we think is news, who we can talk to, who gets our private info, etc etc etc. We deserve that I guess!
