OPENAI draws promotional material around Jony Ive Deal

Openai seems to have drawn a tightly discussed Video promoting the friendship between CEO Sam Altman and the legendary designer of Apple Jony Ive (more, incidentally, The $ 6.5 billion agreement from Openai to acquire the start of the IVE and Altman IO device) Sound website and the YouTube page.

Does this suggest that something is wrong with the acquisition, or with plans for me to direct design work in Openai? Not exactly, According to Mark Gurman from BloombergWho reports that “the agreement is on the right track and has not dissolved or anything like it”. Instead, he said that a judge had made a ban on the name of IO, forcing the company to draw all the materials that used it.

And indeed, an earlier report to Bloomberg Law noted that the manufacturer of AI Iyo devices brought legal action against OpenaiThe judge suggesting that it is open to Iyo’s argument that OPENAI’s promotional video could already create confusion of consumers.

Techcrunch contacted Openai to comment. For the moment, at least, the video remains Visible on X.
