The Zhitong Finance App learned that, according to reports, the much-anticipated artificial intelligence giant OpenAI's first product to enter the consumer device field will be a portable, screen-less smart speaker. This device, which is still under development, is internally positioned as a “human-like AI companion living in the home,” and aims to become a new type of home computer in the age of artificial intelligence. This news comes as OpenAI is preparing to conduct an initial public offering (IPO) within the next few months. This move will enable it to compete more directly with tech giants such as Apple (AAPL.US), Amazon (AMZN.US), and Google's parent company Alphabet (GOOGL.US).
