RIP Privacy — AI Glasses Can Now Recognize Anyone, Anywhere.
A Dutch journalist just tested a pair of AI-powered glasses that can instantly identify strangers on the street.
No government database. No police system. Just public data and off-the-shelf AI.
You look at someone and in seconds, their name, LinkedIn, and background appear before your eyes.
The scariest part? You can’t really stop it.
You can ban it, regulate it, add blinking red lights… but once tech like this exists, someone will always find a way to use it.
To me, this marks a turning point.
We’ve officially blurred the line between seeing people and knowing them.
Between being in public and being exposed.
So here’s the question:
When every face becomes a dataset, how do we protect the meaning of being human?
That’s the million dollar question now isn’t it? Perhaps someone will come out with a new technology. Maybe definitions will evolve and change.
We’re living through the fallout and logical outcome of making everything a commodity that has piles of money that can be made via its exploitation.
There’s nothing sacred and private in a Market if there’s money to be made. The most logical outcome is a development of a pricey service that can scrub you from the internet. Meaning the only people able to afford any measure of anonymity and privacy would be the rich.
And the groups who don’t have social media/linkedin. Or a Digital Footprint.
indeed commodification.
