We explore the emerging world of ambient computing wearables that are always listening, including the Humane Ai Pin, Tab by Avi Schiffmann, and the Rewind Pendant. These personal AI assistants promise to revolutionize how we interact with technology by fading into the background of our lives. But always-on listening raises big questions around privacy, consent, and the future of communication.
This video provides an in-depth look at how these devices work and the technology behind them, including knowledge graphs and natural language processing. We examine the visions put forth by startup founders like Avi Schiffmann as well as perspectives from advocates, critics, and neutral commentators.
Ambient computing is positioned to become ubiquitous. As these innovations march forward, what tradeoffs are we willing to make? Can the promise of personalized AI be realized while respecting user privacy and ethics? Beyond the hype, both caution and optimism are warranted when considering such a profound change to human-computer interaction.
