AI wearable watches you to predict what you need

Would you wear a small AI device that periodically looks at you and studies the world around you? A Singapore-based smart hardware and AI company, Lingverse, is betting people may be ready for that level of attention. Lingverse has raised $29 million to develop an AI wearable called iKairos. The company describes it as a personal AI guardian that can offer help before you ask.

The device can turn toward your surroundings or toward you. Lingverse says this two-way view could give its AI more context about what is happening in your life.
