The Humane AI Pin was one of the more fascinating tech reveals last year. The screenless smartphone looks to utilize artificial intelligence and a small projector to retrieve and display messages, web searches, and other information to the user. Set for a full launch this March, Humane is making multiple leadership changes at the top of the company. This includes CTO Patrick Gates moving into a leadership role ahead of the Pin’s release.
Humane co-founder and CEO Bethany Bongiorno released a statement on Twitter to share several moves being made internally at Humane. This includes the promotion of Miguel Christophy to VP of hardware, the hiring of 14-year Apple veteran Greg Nayman, and the promotion of José Benitez Cong to Chief People Officer. It’s also where we learn about Patrick Gates stepping down from the role of CTO.
Bongiorno also confirms that Humane laid off 10 members of its team as part of the organizational restructuring, but that the company is now hiring for a handful of different positions. She also clarifies that the layoffs were not part of a “cost-cutting measure” as the news was originally reported. It’s currently unclear who will succeed Patrick Gates as CTO, but we can likely expect more updates from Humane in the build-up to the release of the AI Pin this March.
