New AI glasses reveal personal info like name, address, just by looking at people

SMRTR summary

A group of Harvard students developed AI glasses called I-XRAY that can reveal personal information about strangers just by looking at them. The glasses use facial recognition, large language models, and public databases to gather details like names, addresses, and phone numbers. While not intended for public release, the project aims to raise awareness about privacy concerns in the age of advanced AI and data aggregation. The system combines smart glasses, facial recognition, web scraping, and language processing to automatically extract and compile personal data from various online sources.
