Harvard dropouts to launch ‘always on’ AI smart glasses that listen and record every conversation (techcrunch.com)

Two former Harvard students are launching a pair of “always-on” AI-powered smart glasses that listen to, record, and transcribe every conversation and then display relevant information to the wearer in real time. 

“Our goal is to make glasses that make you super intelligent the moment you put them on,” said AnhPhu Nguyen, co-founder of Halo, a startup that’s developing the technology. 

Or, as his co-founder Caine Ardayfio put it, the glasses “give you infinite memory.” 

“The AI listens to every conversation you have and uses that knowledge to tell you what to say … kinda like IRL Cluely,” Ardayfio told TechCrunch, referring to the startup that claims to help users “cheat” on everything from job interviews to school exams.

Smart glasses would be really cool to have. It would be nice to be able to integrate my phone's functionality into my glasses, that I don't wear.

But I don't want AI glasses that are permanently on.

Aren't Meta's smart glasses that?

If Meta's involved then all your conversations will be shared by Zuckerberg and a million of his closest business partners.

I assume someone wanting to "integrate their phone's functionality" is OK with a bit of personal data sharing with big tech.
