Humane’s ‘AI Pin’ debuts on the Paris runway

Humane, a secretive hardware and software startup founded in 2017 by former Apple employees Bethany Bongiorno and Imran Chaudhri, has revealed its first product, the "Ai Pin," which is debuting at Paris fashion shows before a formal unveiling on November 9. The device reportedly appeared on the lapel of supermodel Naomi Campbell during Coperni's Spring Summer 2024 show at Paris Fashion Week, making her the first person outside the company to wear it in public. The company, which has raised $30 million in a Series A and $100 million in a B round, describes the device as a screenless, standalone, clothing-based wearable with no wake word. The article notes that its functionality remains unverified until it can be seen in person.
