AI-powered wearable devices are becoming increasingly capable, combining cameras, microphones, sensors and multimodal AI in ways that allow technology to interact directly with the world around us. Smart glasses are one of the clearest examples of this development.
At the next CuttingEdgeAI, we will explore what these devices can actually see, hear and understand — and what this means for privacy, consent and the people around us. We will bring together perspectives from technology, AI research, privacy and law to explore both their possibilities and the questions they raise.
