In a recent earnings call, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, expressed his belief that individuals who do not adopt AI glasses will miss out on cognitive advantages in the future. He explained his perspective by comparing it to wearing contact lenses, stating:

“I feel like if I didn’t have my vision corrected, I’d be sort of at a cognitive disadvantage going through the world. And I think in the future, if you don’t have glasses that have AI or some way to interact with AI, I think you’re kind of similarly probably be at a pretty significant cognitive disadvantage.”

Zuckerberg emphasized that Meta has invested significantly in developing AI glasses and believes that they will play a crucial role in future interactions. Although these statements present a vision of a future where cognitive enhancements may hinge on technology, many wonder if the current capabilities of these glasses are truly beneficial in day-to-day contexts.
