Human-Side
Infrastructure

A recent visit to Tokyo turned out to be more than a cultural experience; it sent my thinking somewhere unexpected. On a crowded metro train, my friend and I noticed a man in heavy glasses watching us - likely curious about the two tall foreigners in front of him. That moment sparked a conversation: what if every wearable on the train were a virtual assistant? How would we feel? How would we know, and could we choose not to interact with them? Is there a universal sign for "Please don't model my behavior today"? Welcome to the Ambient AI era.
