Google has quietly entered the fast-growing AI dictation market with a new iPhone app called Google AI Edge Eloquent, and its biggest advantage is that it works offline.

Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses promise a futuristic convenience: hands-free recording paired with an AI assistant that can interpret what you see and hear. But recent reporting suggests that convenience can come with a troubling tradeoff, raising fresh questions about consent, transparency, and who may access the footage these devices capture. In the UK, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) says it will write to Meta after a “concerning” investigation alleged that outsou
