Company mission
To harness technology to amplify human ingenuity, champion innovation, and ultimately transform how the world works.
Our take
HP IQ is HP's new AI lab, built form the $116M acquisition of startup Humane. It's focused on creating smarter, AI-powered devices like PCs, printers, an d conference tools. Using Humane's Cosmos platform, HP wants to make tech that doesn't just work, but think, so everyday tasks are faster and smarter.
The company is setting itself apart with its foundation in ambient computing, with the team behind it having built the Humane AI pin, a tiny device with real-time translation, smart sensors, and cloud AI. Now, HP IQ plans to use that same brainpower to upgrade everyday tech with seamless integration.
With a team of proven engineers, over 300 patents, and HP's global scale, HP IQ is set up with the right tools to success. And with the rise in demand for smarter, more intuitive devices, HP IQ, is already in a strong spot to lead the next wave of AI-powered work and life tech.
