While the Humane AI Pin wasn’t a great translator for me, real-time language translation is a technologically difficult task for any gadget.
Of all the things the Humane AI Pin promised, I was most intrigued by translation. In a demo, a man speaks to Humane co-founder Imran Chaudhri in Spanish. The AI Pin automatically translates it to English. Chaudhri replies in English. Again, the AI Pin translates his words back into Spanish. There are notable pauses when the AI is processing, but it’s a powerful concept. Unlike with Google Translate, there was solid eye contact between both people.
If the Humane AI Pin’s translation features worked as demoed, how much grief and loneliness might have been spared? Would our burden have felt even a smidge lighter? I’ve kept rerunning those fantasies in my head since rewatching the demo. And I know that, for the foreseeable future, it’ll stay a fantasy. Better versions of Humane’s translation tech already exist. Google Translate requires screens, but it’s a widely known tool that can act as a digital interpreter.
