Hyped AI Pin Startup Humane Lays Off Some Staff Amid Reorganization

The startup says that the job losses are part of an organizational restructuring that preps it for the next phase of its business.

CEO and co-founder Bethany Bongiorno framed the staff losses in a LinkedIn post as a restructuring of the company designed to take it from a stealth AI startup to a more customer-facing firm. “These evolutions of growth can sadly also mean making difficult decisions for some, in this case we want to extend our sincere gratitude to 10 members of the team who we’ve parted ways with at Humane,” she said, of the layoffs. The purpose of the pin, execs say, is to usher in a new generation of AI wearables that will help humanity move past its smartphone addiction and get back in touch with the physical world.
