The future of the Humane Ai Pin hangs in the balance as it prepares to transition into electronic waste status next week, marking a significant shift for the company and its AI-powered technology.
The story of the infamous Humane Ai Pin is coming to an end. This week, the company announced that HP—known for its computers and printers that always seem to need a refill —will acquire several assets from Humane in a deal worth millions.
HP Acquires Assets from Humane
In a move that has left many in the tech industry scratching their heads, HP has agreed to purchase several key assets from Humane, including its AI-powered technology and intellectual property. The acquisition is expected to be finalized next week, at which point the Humane Ai Pin will cease to exist as a product.
The Fate of the Humane Ai Pin
While the fate of the Humane Ai Pin itself remains uncertain, it’s clear that the company’s assets have been snapped up by a major player in the tech industry. The acquisition is seen as a strategic move by HP to expand its presence in the AI-powered market and establish itself as a leader in the field.
HP Inc. has successfully expanded its market presence globally through strategic acquisitions and investments.
In 2015, the company split from Hewlett-Packard Enterprise to focus on printing and personal systems.
HP acquired Samsung's printer business for $1.05 billion in 2017, increasing its market share.
The company also invested heavily in emerging markets such as China and India.
According to a report by IDC, HP's global market share in the printer market was 42.5% in 2020.
