말 한마디에 '척척'…'AI 안경' 직접 써보니 / 연합뉴스TV (YonhapnewsTV)

[Anchor] Domestic sales of AI glasses have officially begun. Following Meta, Samsung Electronics has also announced a launch within the year, truly igniting global competition. While AI has become much closer to our daily lives, there are still quite a few challenges to overcome. Reporter Jung Da-ye reports. [Reporter] I personally received Meta's AI glasses, which have just started domestic sales. Upon taking them out of the case and examining them, I noticed the brand logo engraved on them, and cameras mounted on both sides of the frames. At first glance, they look like ordinary glasses. Even when I tried them on, the weight and fit were not significantly different from regular sunglasses. Now that full-scale commercialization has begun, I tried having a simple conversation with them. [Sound] "Hey Meta, what's the weather like today?" "Today in Seoul, the high is 28 degrees and the low is 25 degrees. Currently, it is cloudy and 27 degrees..." This time, I tried asking for menu recommendations in front of a kiosk. Although there were some awkward expressions, it answered quite well. [Sound of the scene] "I want to drink something with milk." "Yes, the milk-based drinks are iced lattes and 'HOT' lattes." When asked to take a photo, it was immediately saved to the smartphone, and it was also easy to capture video by recording the scenery right in front of me. You can also make phone calls immediately without taking out your smartphone. [Sound of the scene] "Call Reporter Jung Da-ye." Of course, it is not yet perfect. There are quite a few instances where it fails to understand what is being said or takes time to respond. Samsung Electronics has also thrown its hat into the ring in this "AI right in front of your eyes" market, which Meta has already secured. Partnering with Google, they unveiled their first AI glasses, which also allow users to utilize AI functions such as voice guidance, real-time translation, and photo taking. The competition among global big tech companies to seize supremacy in the next-generation platform following the smartphone has officially begun. However, behind the convenience provided by technology, there are formidable challenges that need to be addressed. Cases of cheating in exam venues are occurring one after another, and concerns about privacy infringement are also growing. Both Meta and Samsung have implemented a feature where an indicator light turns on the eyeglass frames when filming, but controversy surrounding its effectiveness persists. The era of AI glasses is rapidly approaching. Critics point out that it is urgent to establish ethical standards and systems commensurate with technological innovation.
