While the Humane pin is dead, there are a few startups like Looki and Memories.ai already trying the camera and voice combination in an AI wearable. Lenovo is also entering this space through an experimental Motorola gadget under the Project Maxwell codename.

The company said at CES that the assistant powering the gadget will hear and capture your surroundings continuously and provide you with recommendations and insights. Lenovo didn’t provide any details around privacy, but an ever-capturing device could attract a lot of scrutiny. The company noted the device is currently only in a concept stage, and there is no certainty around a commercial release.
