Indian-origin techie develops AI tells you what to focus on, raises privacy concerns – ET CISO

Advait Paliwal, an Indian-origin entrepreneur, has launched a new wearable device named Iris, promising users “infinite memory” of their life. The announcement was made through a social media post, highlighting the device’s unique capabilities.

Iris is designed to capture photographs every minute and stores them on the device or uploads them to the cloud. This aims to document daily moments and identify patterns that might go unnoticed. The wearable also uses AI to organize and caption these images, creating a detailed timeline. Paliwal stated that the device can assist users in remembering forgotten details.

“Iris also has a focus mode. It notices when you get distracted and proactively tells you to get back on track,” Paliwal mentioned in his blog post.

The device’s design is inspired by the evil eye symbol. Paliwal worked on it at Augmentation Lab in Cambridge, a hacker accelerator program for AI and hardware. His presentation of Iris at the MIT Media Lab was well-received by over 250 attendees.

Paliwal emphasized the potential benefits of Iris, including aiding doctors in understanding patient habits, ensuring workplace safety, and assisting in elderly care without being intrusive. However, he acknowledged the device might raise privacy concerns.

“There are good and bad sides to this. On one hand, Iris could really help people with memory problems or help us stay focused on our goals. But it also raises concerns about privacy and how these recordings might be used,” Paliwal wrote.

Despite the potential privacy issues, Paliwal believes it is ultimately up to users to decide how to use the device. He referenced past attempts at similar technology, such as Google Clips, which faced detection challenges and was eventually discontinued.

One commenter on X expressed discomfort with constant photo-taking, to which Paliwal replied, “people are constantly taking mental photos anyway.”

What is Firewall? A Firewall is a network security device that monitors and filters incoming and outgoing network traffic based on an organization's previously established security policies. At its most basic, a firewall is essentially the barrier that sits between a private internal network and the public Internet.

 

Secure your network at the gateway against threats such as intrusions, Viruses, Spyware, Worms, Trojans, Adware, Keyloggers, Malicious Mobile Code (MMC), and other dangerous applications for total protection in a convenient, affordable subscription-based service. Modern threats like web-based malware attacks, targeted attacks, application-layer attacks, and more have had a significantly negative effect on the threat landscape. In fact, more than 80% of all new malware and intrusion attempts are exploiting weaknesses in applications, as opposed to weaknesses in networking components and services. Stateful firewalls with simple packet filtering capabilities were efficient blocking unwanted applications as most applications met the port-protocol expectations. Administrators could promptly prevent an unsafe application from being accessed by users by blocking the associated ports and protocols.
