The Always-On Era: Meta Glasses, Omi Pendants, and the New Rules of Recording

from AI Lab Unfiltered · host Drew & Pete

In this episode of AI Lab Unfiltered, Drew Beach (BizStream) and Pete Terran (New Wave) dig into the fast-evolving world of AI-powered devices—smart glasses, recording pendants, and the “always-on” assistants that are starting to feel normal.They talk through the real questions people are bumping into: etiquette and consent, security and privacy, and whether these tools amplify your attention—or quietly replace your critical thinking. From networking use-cases (remembering names, capturing conversations) to everyday life (finding your keys, navigating a city, even making healthier choices), they explore what’s already possible today—and what’s coming next as wearables get more personalized, more proactive, and yes… more ad-supported.By the end, they land on a simple challenge: the tech is here—so what rules do we need before it’s everywhere?
