EXCLUSIVE AI and AR will give humans 'lie-detecting' superpowers

AI-powered augmented reality devices will give human beings'superpowers' to detect lies and'read' emotions of people they are talking to, a futurist has claimed. Devin Liddell, Principal Futurist at Teague, said that computer vision systems built into headsets or glasses will pick up emotional cues that un-augmented human eyes and instincts cannot see. The technology would let people know if their date is lying or is sexually aroused, along with spotting a lying politician. Liddell said that as augmented reality'merges' with artificial intelligence, humans will gain sensory superpowers which will'transform the social landscape.' He described this as'backchannel' - a term normally used to describe discussions that are not made public and which can give people an advantage in negotiations, for example.
