Stealth Startup Humane Unveils $200M AI Pin Wearable at Paris Fashion Week

Stealthy startup Humane is unveiling its first product - an "AI Pin" wearable device - after several years in development and over $200M in funding.
The AI Pin is a screenless, standalone device that uses AI and sensors for contextual and ambient computing interactions.
It will debut at Paris Fashion Week on supermodel Naomi Campbell before an official launch event on November 9.
Humane says the device is privacy-first with no always-on listening and is meant to be a natural extension of the user.
Details are still vague, but it appears to be a sensor-laden wearable without a display, possibly enabling smartphone-free use.
