The Humane AI pin is meant to provide users the ability to make use of generative artificial intelligence in the physical world. You can attach the pin to your shirt, refer to it, and display chatbot responses on any surface, most frequently your hand. We already know a little about what powers the tiny square pin, and due to a recent report we have a much better idea of what is going on on under the hood.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has included a photographic teardown of the AI pin in a recent report. The photos show the clearest look yet of what the Humane AI pin accommodates, in addition to a close-up of the Snapdragon processor in use.
The FCC must certify wireless devices to make sure they meet regulations before they’re released on the market. Publicly. They then get the cool FCC seal on the product. The inspection process often involves taking the gadget apart so the committee can see what’s inside.
We already knew that the AI pin runs on Snapdragon, although the company didn’t indicate which version. From the photos, it seems that the pin uses a Snapdragon 720G processor, which Qualcomm claims on its website can run artificial intelligence on mobile devices at low power consumption. The Snapdragon 720G is one of the smaller chips available and can also handle the AI computing workload.
While there are definitely still questions as to why the Humane AI pin exists, at least we now know that it uses a chip powerful enough to display ChatGPT results on the palm of your hand.
