Artificial intelligence startup Humane Inc. has been seeking a buyer for its business, according to people familiar with the matter, just weeks after the company’s closely watched wearable AI device had a rocky public launch.

The company is working with a financial adviser to assist it, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the matter is private.
