I can't see any justification for an AI device. Smartphones are already a perfected form factor developed over decades. They consolidate many other devices people carried in the past. Now most people only need to carry a phone, and maybe they'll wear a smartwatch too. Trying to sell people on a third device that they have to carry around and keep charged just doesn't sound like it will work to me.
I suspect the device is some kind of necklace that actively listens to the environment, records and summarises conversations, and has Siri/Alexa-like capabilities. I don't think this is groundbreaking enough to make people comfortable with an always listening device that transmits to the cloud.
