A 'second brain' on your face: Testing the AI glasses built by Meta's hackers

About this episode

The episode discusses the development of Mira, AI glasses by Meta's hackers that transcribe and summarize information without a camera.

They first made headlines by bolting facial recognition onto Meta's Ray-Bans to show how easily the technology could identify strangers in the street. Now AnhPhu Nguyen and Caine Ardayfio have a product of their own: Mira, a $650 pair of AI glasses, with no camera this time, that quietly transcribes and summarises everything so you can turn your life into a searchable database.
