By “ambient devices,” Panos-Panay means those that work quietly in the background, using sensors and AI to help you figure out what needs to be done. Instead of the other way around, where you’re telling the device what you need to do.
Changes may occur in what is the most used mobile hardware because new hardware forms may support All Capable AI interfaces. This is what OpenAI has been working on with their Ives designed mobile AI device, currently somewhere between vaporware and shipping product reality.
It is unclear how this will develop, and whether the iPhone type mobile device will continue to be the dominant central device for AI interactions.
It’s also possible that a more convenient and less pricey form of hardware will prevail that supports AI and ambient computing. This might include, but not be limited to, a number of additional or alternative mobile devices such as glasses, EarPods, or devices hanging on a loop around our necks.
