A tech expert has claimed that artificial intelligence-powered glasses will one day offer humans the chance to experience ‘superpowers’ with the ability to see if people are lying to you or if they’re attracted to you.
While it may sound like something out of an episode of Black Mirror, Devin Liddell, Principal Futurist at Teague, insists it’s the way the technology is headed.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, Liddell said computer vision systems built into glasses will be able to pick up on nuances and emotional cues that are invisible to the naked eye.
He believes that this augmented reality combined with AI will ‘transform the social landscape’ for us humans.
Liddell the technology will offer folks the chance to spot ‘all sorts of physiological and psychological data about other people’ – such as when people are lying to us or if your date is actually interested in you.
Pointing out things the tech could be used for, he told the publication: “Is the other person nervous or calm, interested or annoyed, etc.? Are there markers that suggest they’re being untruthful? Are there indicators that suggest they’re attracted to the viewer?”
Liddell thinks the glasses would be extremely pivotal in many areas of our lives, from politics to work, and even dating.
