Where AI goes next, and where AI devices could go next, is a huge issue at the moment. Sometimes such devices are described as “wearables” that some believe could be a replacement for the smartphone. Almost all rely on natural language processing for user input.
Tab is a wearable device that "ingests the context" of your daily life by listening in to all of your conversations and using artificial intelligence to function as an assistant. By actively monitoring user conversations, Tab intends to provide instant access to a vast reservoir of person-specific knowledge and provide concise, relevant summaries to user inquiries.
Humane is developing an “AI Pin” that features a projector to allow its simple user interface to appear on a hand or other nearby surface.
Rewind.ai has developed a neck-worn pendant that's designed to record conversations and transfer them securely to a smartphone. Its AI software sorts through and gleans insights from that mass of audio info, creating a sort of searchable database.
Meta smart glasses now can use an AI chatbot to interact.
And then there are efforts by Jony Ive, former lead Apple designer, said to be working with SoftBank and OpenAI for an AI device of some sort.
Those of you familiar with the development of computing appliances and devices know that the “early leaders” often are not the ultimate winners of big device markets. That is likely to happen for wearable AI devices as well.
