META

🕶️ Students turn AI glasses into doxing devices

The Rundown: Two Harvard students just demoed a proof-of-concept system using Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses that allow the wearer to access personal information about strangers, raising major privacy concerns.

The details:

• AnhPhu Nguyen and Caine Ardayfio combined Meta’s smart glasses with custom software, enabling the ability to ID people and retrieve personal data.

• The system, I-XRAY, uses a combination of facial recognition, reverse image search, and LLMs to find names, addresses, phone numbers, and other details.

• The students tested I-XRAY on Harvard’s campus, correctly identifying strangers and their personal info.

• The privacy concerns come as Meta recently confirmed it may use any images and videos shared with Meta AI for training purposes.

Why it matters: This demo exposes how much privacy and surveillance are about to change in the AI age—and it is coming fast. If a couple of students can achieve these abilities with a pair of Meta smart glasses and publicly available tools, what will dedicated corporations and governments be capable of?

INFLECTION AI

🤖 Inflection and Intel team up on enterprise AI

The Rundown: Inflection AI just launched Inflection for Enterprise, a new system built in partnership with Intel and designed for large-scale business deployments – featuring both a cloud service, new commercial API and upcoming local appliance.

The details:

• Inflection for Enterprise is built on the new Inflection 3.0 model family and powered by Intel's Gaudi 3 AI accelerators.

• An on-premises AI appliance is planned for Q1 2025 release, promising up to 2x improved price-performance over competitors.

• Inflection 3.0 comes in two variants — Pi 3.0 for chatbots and Productivity 3.0 for instruction-following tasks.

• Inflection also released a commercial API, enabling developers to build advanced conversational AI applications.

Why it matters: After a turbulent year following founder Mustafa Suleyman and much of the team’s departure to Microsoft, Inflection is pivoting from consumer-focused apps to enterprise solutions. While the startup will face no shortage of competitors, a partnership with Intel is a positive start for the new regime.
