OpenAI hires Apple Vision Pro and smart glasses lead
OpenAI has poached Paul Meade, the executive responsible for Apple's Vision Pro and smart glasses projects. Meade will lead hardware efforts at the AI company, signaling a push into wearable devices. The move underscores OpenAI's ambition to expand beyond software into physical products.
