Augmented Reality Technology Based On AI Will Give Humans 'Super Power' To Detect Lies

JAKARTA - An augmented reality device powered by artificial intelligence (AI) will provide humans with "super powers" to detect lies and "bright" the emotions of the people they talk to. This is claimed by a futurist.

Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com, Devin Liddell, Futurist Utama intensifies, saying that computer vision systems that are integrated into headsets or glasses will capture emotional signs that the eyes and human instincts are not helped by technology cannot see.

The technology will allow people to know whether their dating partner is lying or sexually aroused, and can identify lying politicians.

Liddell said that as augmented reality "joins" with artificial intelligence, humans will gain super sensory power that will "change the social landscape".

He explained this as a "backchannel" - a term that is usually used to describe discussions that are not publicly announced and can provide benefits for someone in negotiations, for example.

Liddell estimates "convergence of computer vision technology with artificial intelligence and consumer wearable devices" will occur in the coming years.

"Weapors will be able to understand various physiological and psychological data about others," Liddell said. "Added to artificial intelligence, it will provide people with a continuous understanding of the people they are currently interacting with."

This futurist believes that these glasses can provide information secretly that can benefit everything, from politics to the world of dating.

"Are other people nervous or calm, interested or upset, and so on? Are there any signs that they are not honest? Are there any indicators showing their interest in the audience?" said Liddell.

The global market for augmented reality is expected to reach 597.54 billion US dollars (Rp8,990 trillion) by 2030, according to Grand View Research, with the launch of Vision Pro from Apple worth 3499 US dollars (Rp52 million) in early 2024.

Artificial intelligence has shown potential in someone's emotional "enlivening", with companies like Zoom introducing "analytical sentiment" in their trial products - where machines can read feelings and what someone says based on their expressions.

This technology is controversial: Microsoft stopped the "Emotional outburst" feature in their Azure Face software due to "lack of scientific consensus" and "private concerns".

Liddell believes that this perceptive "super force" will allow people to detect everything from hidden diseases to mental problems - and this will be utilized to the fullest.

"Humans are involved in many opportunities and profit-seeking behavior, and they will use this super-backchannel force in various fields, from complex political negotiations to regular dating," said Liddell.

"The initial use case will include a scenario where only one participant has the strength of a super backchannel, creating a game field that is so unbalanced, that in the end, everyone will have that power at some level," he added.

Using such tools has become controversial, as seen in a 2016 study by Shanghai's Jiao Tong University, where researchers claim that neural networks can identify criminals from their facial images with an accuracy of 89.5 percent.

Liddell said that in the future, dating people may be able to assess the financial well-being of their partners - even their fertility by simply looking at them.

"Just imagine in the future when you have artificial intelligence and computer vision to assess your dating," said Liddell.

"The best possible illustration is a future dating interface that is seen through retinal glasses or implants during dating. You sit face to face with your partner and when you talk and get to know each other, you are given real-time information about that person and how he feels.

"There may be something like an honesty index, estimated fertility rates, indicators of financial strength - current and future estimates, health and fitness metrics, signs of current or previous substance abuse, indicators of passion, emotional instability, and so on. And maybe only one person on a date can access such technology, while others should rely on old intuition," he explained.

"The power of this technology will lead to a ban," said Liddell.

"There will be attempts to ban its use due to a serious case of abuse - imagine customs officers who prohibit travelers from entering with mental illness and dishonest employers who filter out prospective unfair workers from their health insurance list before they are employed," he continued.

"Mitra and her family will try to limit the use of backchannels in the house. But this resistance effort will not work because the system is getting smaller and more affordable, eventually entering our bodies through retinal and ear implants.

"Backchannel will eventually be a new, transformative way of understanding and influencing human social fabrics. What used to be considered super powers will be part of our daily lives," added Liddell.
