Generative AI has changed a lot of product roadmaps this year. At Meta, it has big implications for AR glasses, according to CTO Andrew Bosworth.
I recently caught up with Bosworth, who goes by Boz, to chat about all things AI and AR. Our convo was timed to his annual year-in-review post, in which he writes that “the shift we have seen over the last year suggests there is a path to AI becoming a primary way that people interact with machines.”
From Meta’s perspective, the most immediate example of this shift is its latest Ray-Ban smart glasses, which have quickly managed to break out from the early adopter crowd into broader pop culture. A handful of beta testers recently gained access to Meta’s AI assistant in the glasses, which can identify objects in the world and translate languages. As I reported earlier this year, the next version of these Ray-Bans in 2025 will include a small “viewfinder” display, which Boz told me the AI assistant will use.
