Every Friday on Paris Direct, tech expert Guillaume Gralet dives into the latest innovations—and today, it’s all about artificial intelligence and the future of smartphones. Some of the newest projects could completely change how we interact with our devices… even making screens disappear.
AI-Powered Smartphones
The newest devices, like the Samsung Galaxy S24 series, are using AI to make everyday tasks easier. You can now point to an object to learn more about it or automatically fill in missing parts of a photo. The goal? A more intuitive phone that adapts to the way we naturally interact with the world.
The AI Pin: A Wearable Phone
One of the most talked-about innovations is the AI Pin from Human AI, a U.S.-based company. About the size of a matchbox, it clips to your jacket and acts as a mini, wearable phone. It comes equipped with a camera, can project information onto your hand, and even track your diet and habits in real time. With a SIM card built in, it connects to the internet and can answer your questions—essentially replacing the smartphone altogether.
Johnny Ive and Screen-Free Design
Johnny Ive, former Apple designer and creator of the iPhone, is working on screen-free interfaces. His vision: devices that interact with us naturally, without the need for a traditional screen. Given his track record at Apple, these upcoming products are highly anticipated.
Smart Everyday Assistants
Another innovation is Rabbit, a compact, AI-powered assistant about half the size of a smartphone. It can order a ride, answer questions, or manage deliveries. With its bright orange, retro design and AI integrations, it’s both fun and practical—a glimpse into the future of personal assistants.
Apple Vision Pro: Enter Spatial Computing
Apple’s Vision Pro headset blends augmented and virtual reality. It tracks hand and eye movements for intuitive navigation. Tim Cook describes it as the next step after the personal computing revolution of the Mac and the mobile computing era of the iPhone: welcome to spatial computing.
Non-Invasive Brain-Computer Interfaces
In the U.S., universities are developing non-invasive chips that can understand your intentions and thoughts. Unlike Elon Musk’s Neuralink, these devices don’t require surgery, potentially revolutionizing how we interact with technology.
Projectors and Holograms: Ditching the Screen
Other innovations focus on projectors and holograms:
-
Samsung Bali: a small robot that projects movies, conducts video calls, and even supports workouts.
-
Gatebox (Japan): lets you interact with a holographic virtual character that knows you and communicates with you daily. Fascinating… though slightly uncanny.
Technology for Less Screen Time
All these developments share one goal: reducing our reliance on screens, often overloaded with notifications. The future promises a more natural, liberating, and human-centered way to use connected devices.
The future of phones is shaping up to be exciting, intuitive, and screen-free—with AI leading the way toward devices that truly understand us.
