TECH 24 © FRANCE 24

Two Harvard students, Caine Ardayfio and AnhPhu Nguyen, say they have hacked a pair of Meta Ray-Ban Smart Glasses and installed facial recognition software, so that merely looking at someone's face will bring up their name, address, age, biography and any other information available on online databases.

On this week's Tech 24, we discuss the most staggering uses (and abuses) of artificial intelligence to hit the headlines recently.

Also on the programme, we bring you the story of Michael Smith, who US prosecutors say conned streaming services out of millions of dollars with his AI-generated music, and how researchers used ChatGPT to convince people their favourite conspiracy theories were wrong.
