AI glasses will give you superpowers to catch people out if they are lying to you, says expert

LIE-BUSTING glasses that use artificial intelligence (AI) to determine a person’s thoughts and feelings could be on the horizon, according to a geopolitical futurist.

The Sun asked Abishur Prakash, CEO of The Geopolitical Business, about what the future holds for when this tech takes off.

Prakash theorises that these mind-reading goggles could take humanity down toward a dystopian future of social credit systems “where people have scores that affect how they live.”

Say goodbye to the odd white lie or fib, as that could impact your social status in a future where this tech is commonplace.

Humanity is already quite reliant on AI, but in a way that the technology is merely operating in the background.

It’s human first, Prakash explained, with people having to interact with it first before it comes alive.

But in the future, this coin will flip.

“It will be AI first, and humans second,” he said.

“With augmented reality (AR) glasses, everything a person does, from purchasing a cup of coffee to keeping up with their schedule to identifying a dating match, will be presented or completed with AI.

“People’s entire lifestyles and decisions might be guided by AI, from morning to night.”

It’s no longer the stuff of science fiction.

“In Japan, researchers are analysing the Bank of Japan’s governor to predict interest rate changes,” Prakash continued.

“In the US, a software company developed AI (and then shelved the project) that could identify emotions, age, and gender.”

In May, a team on American scientists announced they had developed a AI model that has the eerie ability to translate brain waves into text.

The building blocks for mind-reading AI glasses are already here, but in the future, the tech is expected to have “tremendous” political implications. 

While the average Joe might just have AR-glasses, like Apple’s Vision Pro goggles which are due to hit the shelves this year, governments and security agencies will have access to entire surveillance systems powered by AI.

Prakash envisions so-called ‘unfriendly nations’ using this technology to see which MI6 employees are the most “emotionally vulnerable” and their best bet of breaching national security.

“Suddenly, democratic rights, like privacy, collide with governments being able to track emotions of people – or even gauge thoughts,” Prakash noted.

“How does somebody protect the most intimate parts of their person – thoughts and feelings – from technology and big brother?”
