We are joined by AnhPhu Nguyen, created of I-Xray. Along with his classmate, Caine Ardayfio, at Harvard University he has hooked Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses up to a facial recognition system that instantly identifies strangers in public, finds their personal information and can be used to approach them and gain their trust. They call it I-XRAY and have demonstrated its power to get phone numbers, addresses and even social security numbers in live tests. The media is blowing this up as a dystopian tool, but with the right data protection, this tool could make it easier for people to spot commonalities and make meeting strangers less awkward. If you have a question for AnhPhu, ask them in our discord.Patreon.com/svic for exclusive content.Join our free weekly newsletter so you don't miss all of the tech news: https://svic.substack.com/Follow us:Threads: www.threads.net/@svicpodcastTwitter: https://x.com/svicpodcastLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/svicpodcastTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@svicpodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/svicpodcastSpotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/svicpodcastNeed consulting help on M&A?
