In this episode, Adario Strange, who began researching and testing smart glasses over a decade ago, and Farbod Shakouri, the UK-based founder of AI smart glasses startup Phantom, join forces to break down the recent past, present, and near future of the emerging market of smart glasses powered by artificial intelligence.
The two delve into the many AI smart glasses offerings from Snapchat, Meta, Amazon, as well as the newest entry into the face race called Snap Spectacles, and what Apple may have planned for the more affordable smart glasses space after releasing the Apple Vision Pro. Then Farbod takes us on an in-depth tour of the features of the Phantom Journey Lens, a new AI smart glasses product set for release in the first quarter of 2025.

The recent election season proved that many traditional mainstream media businesses have lost their way, as social media and independent creators suck up much of the attention and revenue. The rise of generative artificial intelligence would seem to threaten to deepen the news media’s woes, but Nota CEO Josh Brandau has a different vision for how journalists and publishers can harness the power of AI to evolve into the next era of news production.

Adario Strange gets Josh to dive into what moved him from traditional media into the AI startup world, then the two explore the current state of major newsrooms using AI to pivot, publishers fighting AI in court to ensure future profits, and how audiences will need to revamp how they consume information to avoid being pulled into the growing vortex of fake news.

Artificial intelligence can optimize our work and social lives, but without security measures, it can potentially destroy both. Joining Adario Strange is Ian Swanson, the founder and CEO of Protect AI, a company devoted to helping major companies and individuals alike guard against malicious AI models and other nefarious exploits attempting to leverage AI against its users. After testifying in front of the U.S. Homeland Security committee on AI last year, Swanson and his startup raised an additional $60 million, valuing the company at $400 million.

The two also dig deep into all the major AI stories moving the business world including the OpenAI executive exodus, how Elon Musk’s new role with the White House might impact AI policy, the growing effects of AI in education, why nuclear power is now a pillar of the AI space, and what they think actor Ben Affleck knows about AI after going viral for his his take on the future of Hollywood.
