Caitlin Kalinowski, the former head of Meta’s augmented reality glasses and virtual reality goggles teams, announced that she is joining OpenAI to lead their robotics and consumer hardware division. In a LinkedIn post, Kalinowski stated her initial focus will be on bringing AI into the physical world through robotics work and partnerships. An article by Maxwell Zeff suggests Kalinowski may collaborate with her former Apple colleague Jony Ive on a new AI hardware device being developed by OpenAI and Ive’s startup, LoveFrom. OpenAI recently began hiring research engineers for a revived robotics team aimed at integrating its multimodal AI into partner hardware.
