Customers who purchased the $700 AI Pin from Humane should stop using the charging case accessory that came with the device, Humane said in emails sent today. The email, shared by The Verge, states that the charging case “may pose a fire safety hazard.”
Humane is working to find a new battery supplier, and the company says the problem is limited to the Charge case. The AI connector, battery boosters, and charging pad will not be affected, so the device can still be charged.
Customers should stop using and charging the charging case accessory “immediately.” Humane is not recalling customers or providing refunds, but will give customers two months of a Humane subscription for free.
The AI Pin, released in November, is a standalone device designed specifically for AI. It attaches to the garment using a magnetic battery system and responds to questions and queries. There's a “laser ink display” that can project information onto the user's hand, and a built-in camera.
Humane's AI Pin hasn't received good reviews in reviews and has been widely criticized for its effectiveness. bad job.
