Humane is a mysterious wearable AI camera startup that’s raised $230M

by Add Comment

A company by the name of Humane, founded by husband and wife team Imran Chaudhri and Bethany Bongiorno, both former Apple executives, has raised $230,000,000. This figure is after the Series C round of fundraising that added $100m to its existing kitty. It’s a somewhat secretive company but their goal seems to be to bring to market wearable AI cameras. But beyond that, there aren’t really many details, save for a few blurry screenshots.

What is clear is that Humane has teamed up with Microsoft and OpenAI to leverage human AI experiences at a large scale. The company says they are also working with LG to develop potential R&D projects for future Humane products and their core technology. Exactly what it will offer, though, is still pretty unclear. Both figuratively and literally, from looking at the screenshots.

After Snapchat Spectacles turned out not to be a really good idea, another company has taken a chance on a similar concept. However, their idea seems a lot better for now.  ACE Eyewear are also sunglasses with a camera, but instead of posting to Snapchat only, they let you post directly to Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. They don’t record round video, but the standard rectangular format. And they even look better, if you ask me. There are plenty more cool features, so let’s dive in.
