Wearable artificial intelligence is moving beyond watches and fitness trackers. Technology companies are experimenting with devices that can understand spoken requests, recognize objects, summarize information, and provide assistance without requiring users to hold a phone. Two of the most discussed formats are smart glasses and AI pins. Both aim to make artificial intelligence more immediate and less dependent on screens. However, they approach that goal from very different physical positions.
