AI Glasses (Like Ray-Ban Meta): The Future Is Already Here
Some people wear glasses with cameras and AI built in. They can answer questions about what you see. Cool — and weird.

The big idea
There are glasses now (Ray-Ban Meta, Apple Vision, others coming) with cameras and AI. You can ask 'what kind of bird is that?' and AI answers. Cool — but remember, the camera is recording other people too.
Some examples
Ask: 'What ingredient should I add next?' (looking at a recipe in the kitchen)
Ask: 'Translate this sign for me.' (looking at a foreign sign while traveling)
Ask: 'Identify this plant.' (looking at a flower in the park)
Concern: people you film might not know you are filming them.
Try it!
Talk with family: would you want someone wearing AI glasses around you? Are some places okay (museum) but others not (bathroom, locker room)?
