Who’s more likely to embrace AI in their daily lives—tech experts or novices? We’re surprised by new research that reveals it’s the less tech-savvy who are more open to using AI, finding its human-like abilities “magical” and awe-inspiring.

As people learn more about AI’s inner workings, it can lose some of that magic, highlighting the tricky balance between education and enthusiasm. Sometimes, less really is more.

In this week’s edition, we’ve got a better way to leverage your Linkedin presence, seeing smarter with AI -powered eyewear, a look at some ChatGPT hacks, and AI’s latest learning leap.

Let’s get started!

AI Wearables

Are smart glasses the future of wearable tech? Smart glasses are evolving into versatile tools, blending convenience and AI. The next generation of AI-powered eyewear is lighter, more streamlined, and equipped with advanced features.

Meta’s Ray-Ban Smart Glasses have taken a big leap forward. Combining Ray-Ban’s iconic style with smart technology, these glasses feature dual cameras, open-ear audio, and touchpad controls, making hands-free communication and content creation effortless.

Meta has also added real-time language translation, something we’re extremely excited about. Imagine being able to ‘hear’ translated speech through open-air speakers on your glasses or transcripts on your phone. Currently, speech can be translated between English and Spanish, French, or Italian but more languages are expected to be added soon.

Meta isn’t alone in the smart-glasses race:

• Google and Samsung have teamed up on a new Android XR platform to power next-gen mixed-reality devices. Their glasses will feature AI-driven tools like live camera translation and navigation assistance.

• Apple is reportedly exploring its own smart glasses, as the tech giant works on prototypes in its labs.

• At this year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Halliday XR (designed for gamers and professionals) and Solos smart glasses (for fitness enthusiasts)

While early adopters are embracing the technology, broad public acceptance remains uncertain (we’re not ready to take the plunge yet either). Concerns about privacy, social norms, and day-to-day practicality could limit their appeal. As these devices mature, it’s still not clear whether they could become an indispensable part of daily life or remain niche products for specific markets.

ChatGPT Chatter

Are you using ChatGPT regularly? If it still feels overwhelming, now’s the perfect time for a refresher on what it can do for you every day. Think of ChatGPT as your approachable assistant, ready to simplify your life. Here’s a quick list of easy, practical ways to make it part of your daily routine:

• Improve your writing: From emails to essays, ChatGPT can make your text more professional, humorous, or concise—and even translate it to another language.

• Draft messages: Stuck on how to phrase an email or text? ChatGPT can help you write the perfect note, saving you time and stress.

• Simplify complex topics: Want to understand AI, economics, or climate change without jargon? ChatGPT can explain it in plain, simple terms.

• Summarize information: Don’t have time to read a long article? ChatGPT can break it down into digestible points. Try asking Chat to summarize Terms and Conditions.

• Brainstorm ideas: Can’t decide what to cook for dinner or what movie to watch? ChatGPT can suggest options based on what’s in your refrigerator or what cuisine you’re craving.

• Plan events and projects: Whether it’s a surprise party, a weekend getaway, or a multi-step project, ChatGPT helps organize and simplify planning.

• Get Personalized Workouts: Need a quick fitness plan? ChatGPT can design exercises tailored to your goals from strength training to yoga and cardio.

• Identify anything: Need help identifying a plant, a bird species, or a landmark? Snap a pic, upload it and ChatGPT will do its best to identify it.

ChatGPT’s value lies in its flexibility. It’s not just a search engine or a chatbot—it’s a tool that adapts to your needs, whether you’re planning your day, learning something new, or simply having fun. Start experimenting with one or two tasks and see how easily ChatGPT can fit into your daily life!

AI in Education

We’re excited to spotlight AI’s “aha” moments: remarkable breakthroughs with the potential to reshape how we live, work, and learn. This week, one story stood out: a World Bank-supported pilot program that demonstrates just how transformative AI can be for education.

Students in an after-school program in Nigeria used generative AI as virtual tutors to improve their skills in English, digital literacy, and foundational AI concepts. Here’s what happened:

• In just 30 school days, they made the kind of progress you’d expect to see over two academic years.

• Girls, who initially lagged behind their male peers, showed even greater gains, highlighting the program’s potential to close gender gaps in education.

It’s a clear example of how AI can close learning gaps and bring quality education to more people. What if classrooms in underserved areas around the US (and the world) could adopt this model? More than four years after the start of the COVID pandemic and despite millions of dollars in emergency funding, student learning loss is still a major problem in America.

The Nigerian pilot shows us what’s possible: a scalable, transformative approach to education that’s equitable and effective. The question isn’t whether AI can change the future of education—it’s how quickly we can make it happen.
