The Consumer Electronics Show†www.forbes.com is the hotspot for crazy, cutting-edge tech that can be sometimes borderline delusional. Brands worldwide are using artificial intelligence to create physical products, and hi-TATA-x is one such AI device. Unlike the Rabbit R1 or Humane AI Pin, it’s not trying to replace your smartphone but instead aims to replace actual living pets.

It’s unsettling to think about replacing pets with an AI product, but not everyone can take care of living pets for various reasons, including aging or demanding work schedules. While a living creature offers unparalleled emotional support, an AI pet can serve as a low-maintenance robot companion. The hi-TATA-x AI pet can offer companionship without requiring walks, bathing or food.

hi-TATA-x, an AI-powered robot companion, is designed to offer “personalized warmth” and aims to set a “new bar for emotional AI.” According to hi-TATA-x’s CEO and co-founder, the company has “created a companion that combines technological sophistication with genuine emotional connection.”

Its target audience is individuals who need emotional support: “Whether it’s keeping a child company, offering emotional support to an elderly family member, or simply being a calming presence in a hectic household, hi-TATA-x fits effortlessly into your life,” states the press release. However, the device includes a suite of sensors that collect your data.

hi-TATA-x features a camera, screen, microphone, speaker and processor. Its screen functions as its eyes, designed to convey emotions. hi-TATA-x can display feelings such as shyness or reluctance to interact, but petting its cozy, soft-touch exterior can lift its mood. The more you interact with it, the more unique it gets.

The AI pet connects to Wi-Fi and uses ChatGPT to engage in conversations. hi-TATA-x is an attentive listener that remembers what it sees, raising potential privacy concerns. While the company claims that “most of your data is kept locally” to ensure privacy, skepticism surrounding such products is inevitable.

That being said, interacting with hi-TATA-x is enjoyable. Similar to video games, you can earn points to exchange for new accessories and updates. The company is developing an accessory ecosystem to keep the experience fresh and engaging. For instance, you can purchase stylish outfits or creative masks to change your AI pet’s appearance. On the software side, you can customize its eyes and adjust its voice.
