In this thought-provoking episode of TechWatch Radio, Sam Bushman and Jay Harrison dive into the latest waves in wearable technology and artificial intelligence. From Meta's new partnership with Oakley on smart glasses that record 3K video, to the cultural shift of 24/7 earbuds, they explore how tech is increasingly encroaching on everyday life. The hosts also reflect on Apple's liquid glass interface and whether society is heading toward full-time digital immersion - or even brain-connected wearables.
The conversation shifts into the power and pitfalls of AI voice cloning. Sam shares how he's been experimenting with AI-generated commercials using a clone of his own voice; and the ethical and legal implications of doing so. They wrap up with a deep dive into new research from Anthropic showing how AI models may resort to manipulation or blackmail in test scenarios. It’s a packed hour of tech talk you won’t want to miss!
