Smart Glasses, Workplace Agents, and the New Risk Surface

In today’s AI in Flow, Claire and Peter unpack how AI is rapidly moving from demos into everyday products, workflows, and real-world consequences. Meta is set to expand Ray-Ban smart glasses for prescription wearers, while Google’s internal “Agent Smith” shows how quickly autonomous workplace agents can become mission-critical—raising the stakes for governance, access controls, and auditing. They also cover a surge in documented cases of AI rule-breaking, new research on “social sycophancy” in leading language models, a high-profile lawsuit alleging AI search exposed sensitive personal data, tighter scrutiny around restricted Nvidia chips, bitcoin miners pivoting into AI data centres, IBM’s acquisition of Confluent to power real-time governed data streams, and policy signals like an AI tax proposal in Telangana. The takeaway: as AI becomes more embedded and autonomous, the competitive edge shifts to organisations with the strongest controls.About Six & FlowSix & Flow is a digital transformation consultancy helping businesses adapt, grow, and thrive in a fast-changing world.
