Lastly today, one more OpenAI report.

We have, of course, been tracking closely when OpenAI's first hardware will come out, and apparently it's set to be unveiled later this year.

In an onstage interview with Axios at Davos, OpenAI Chief Global Affairs Officer Chris Lehane flagged that devices was a big theme for the company moving forward.

He said that OpenAI was, in his words, on track to unveil their device in the latter part of 2026.

Now, he was careful to caveat almost everything about the device rollout.

He refused to discuss form factor, and he wouldn't commit to this being a product release timeline rather than just an unveiling.

He added that this year was, quote, most likely, but we'll see how things advance.

When the interviewer tried to present this as breaking news that we'd get the device this year, Lehane tried to correct him, adding, I didn't say it's coming this year.

I said we're on track.

Now, it's unclear if Lehane's comments refer to the original puck design, the recently rumored behind-the-ear capsule-shaped device, or a third different thing.

In reporting the news, Gizmodo said, No, there have not been any updates about what the hell it is.

However, that was far from the only thing that we got at the World Economic Forum, and so with that, we'll close the headlines and move on to the main episode.

Hello, friends.

If you've been enjoying what we've been discussing on the show, you'll want to check out another podcast that I've had the privilege to host, which is called You Can With AI from KPMG.

Season one was designed to be a set of real stories from real leaders making AI work in their organizations.

And now season two is coming and we're back with even bigger conversations.

This show is entirely focused on what it's like to actually drive AI change inside your enterprise and as case studies, expert panels, and a lot more practical goodness that I hope will be extremely valuable for you as the listener.

Here's a harsh truth.

Your company is probably spending thousands or millions of dollars on AI tools that are being massively underutilized.
