Why It Matters
🚀 The Fall of AI Wearables? – Humane raised $230M and aimed to replace smartphones, but its AI Pin flopped due to poor reviews and hardware issues.
📉 From Billion-Dollar Dreams to Fire Sale – The startup sought a $750M–$1B acquisition in 2024 but settled for much less.
🔄 HP’s AI Play – HP plans to expand AI across its product lineup, including PCs and smart devices.
Humane’s ambitious AI wearable failed, but its tech may find new life inside HP. Is this the end of AI-first gadgets, or just the beginning of a new era?
