SMART glasses are no longer a niche experiment, they’re rapidly evolving into a mainstream category with serious innovation, and consequences for society.

These glasses not only correct vision but also serve as a hands-free extension of your smartphone or computer, providing real-time information and connectivity, with instant access to the web.

There is no law specifically governing their use, so they fall under a patchwork of existing regulations, including recording consent, wiretapping, and state-level privacy laws.

A recent investigation found footage from smart glasses being reviewed by contractors training AI.

We still haven’t built protection for general surveillance.

The next time someone says “Hey Meta” it might not be their privacy at risk.

We already experiencing The Death of Conversation, a reduction in third spaces, in person socialising and real life friendships.

Now with the assumption everything is being recorded, people will be even more guarded than they already are.

There is no stopping technology advancement.

The real question is how much we should allow AI into our lives.

The risks created by artificial intelligence can seem overwhelming.

What happens to people who lose their jobs to an intelligent machine? Could AI affect the results of an election? What if a future AI decides it doesn’t need humans anymore and wants to get rid of us?

Yes this is not the first time a major innovation has introduced new threats that had to be controlled.

We’ve done it before.

However AI is changing so quickly that it isn’t clear exactly what will happen next.

We’re facing big questions raised by the way the current technology works, the ways people will use it for ill intent, and the ways AI will change us as a society and as individuals.

AI is going to revolutionize our lives. It will help solve problems—in health, education, climate change, and more—that used to seem intractable. 

One thing that’s clear from everything that has been written so far about the risks of AI—and a lot has been written—is that no one has all the answers.,

AI plays a bigger role in daily life than many people realise.

Before it’s too late we’ll need to adapt old laws and adopt new ones.

We cannot generally ignoring the massive changes that are soon to come.

It is already replace every aspect of reality with something else, something thus far unimagined.

By definition, something smarter than all of us combined will restructure reality in ways we are unable to think of.

Right now, AI is:

• Increasing capability faster than society can absorb it
• Creating concentrated wealth
• Causing short-term labor disruption
• Delivering real productivity gains in specific domains
• Accelerating scientific research
• Destroying what’s left for democracy

It’s now or never to bring AIvunder human control..

All human comments appreciated. All like clicks and abuse chucked in the bin.
