Mattel had not yet signed any deals with any AI companies. The move will also see Mattel incorporate ChatGPT Enterprise into its business operations, so staff can use the chatbot on the job to help design new products.<\/p>\n<p><b>Related:<\/b> &#8216;Our Mission Remains the Same&#8217;: OpenAI Reverses Course, Says Its Nonprofit Will Remain in Control of the Business<\/p>\n<p>The partnership is in its early stage, with its first product expected to be announced later this year. Lightcap and Mattel&#8217;s Chief Franchise Officer Josh Silverman told <i>Bloomberg<\/i> that Mattel could use AI to create digital assistants based on characters like Polly Pocket or to enhance games like UNO.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s really across the spectrum of physical products and some experiences,&#8221; Silverman told the outlet, while also noting that Mattel isn&#8217;t licensing its intellectual property to OpenAI, and it retains full ownership of the products being created.<\/p>\n<p>Mattel is pushing into digital gaming and intends to launch its first self-published game next year.<\/p>\n<p><b>Related: <\/b>OpenAI CEO Sam Altman Says AI Agents Are Like a Team of &#8216;Junior Employees&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, OpenAI is planning a broader push into physical products.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, the ChatGPT-maker announced its biggest deal yet with its plans to acquire io, a startup created by former Apple designer Jony Ive, for $6.4 billion. The deal brings Ive and his 55-person team over to OpenAI to work on hardware embedded with ChatGPT, which could include headphones and devices with cameras, according to a <i>Wall Street Journal<\/i> report.<\/p>\n<p>OpenAI is worth $300 billion after a record fundraising round in April.
