It's not having to pretend that you're paying attention; it's actually having to pay attention--and take notes. It's a necessary evil if you want to keep your boss happy or get a passing grade, but this AI audio recorder could make your life a lot easier. Imagine this: Instead of frantically trying to keep up with writing notes, this voice-to-text recorder captures every spoken word and summarizes all key points with AI. Get one here for 99.99 with free shipping (reg. A lot of people already record meetings and lectures, but this gadget goes two steps further.

If you want to coast through meetings, keep track of everyone you meet, or just remember the name of that obscure dog food your veterinarian told you to feed your pooch, there's a necklace for that. Plaud is an AI company that makes the creatively named Plaud Note--a slim ChatGPT-enabled audio recorder that can be stuck on the back of your phone or slipped into a shirt pocket to record, transcribe, and summarize your conversations. The company's newest offering is called the Plaud NotePin (the naming scheme doesn't get any better here), and it takes basically all the same features of the Note and packs them into a wearable device about the size of a lipstick tube. The NotePin can be worn as a necklace, a wristwatch, or a pin, or clipped onto something like a lapel. It costs 169 and lets you record up to 300 minutes of audio per month.

This story was supposed to have a different beginning. You were supposed to hear about how, earlier this week, I attended a splashy launch party for a new AI gadget--the Rabbit R1--in New York City, and then, standing on a windy curb outside the venue, pressed a button on the device to summon an Uber home. Instead, after maybe an hour of getting it set up and fidgeting with it, the connection failed. The R1 is a bright-orange chunk of a device, with a camera, a mic, and a small screen. Press and hold its single button, ask it a question or give it a command using your voice, and the cute bouncing rabbit on screen will perk up its ears, then talk back to you.

Reviews are in for a tiny 700 wearable computer, less than 2 square-inches in size, made by two former Apple employees who promised a breakthrough'iPhone killer.' And they haven't been kind: Humane's AI Pin has been called'The Worst Product I've Ever Reviewed' garnering low 4-out-of-10 scored from major tech publications. The device -- which is worn on the user's lapel, answers spoken commands via AI, and projects a tiny screen onto their hand -- has been criticized for hardware that overheats in just'a couple of minutes,' AI that delivers'incorrect answers' and worse. Now, Humane's employees and engineers have admitted that the AI Pin, which also requires a 24 monthly subscription plan, is'frustrating sometimes' and that the harsh reviews have been'honest' and'solid.' It's yet to be seen if the public will prefer tapping an object on their chest as opposed to pulling their phone out of their pocket Some tech industry boosters lashed out at influential YouTuber reviewer Marques Brownlee, whose negative review of the AI Pin has 3.7 million views, accusing him of'carelessness' for'potentially killing someone else's nascent project' with his critique.

The second category of AI gadgets are smartphones, smart speakers, laptops and other devices whose innards are re-engineered to let you talk to AI chatbots, make your photos look better with AI or translate a video from Japanese faster and more easily.

It sounds like something out of a dystopian sci-fi film: virtual-reality humans that mimic the voices and facial expressions of dead people, so loved ones can speak to them from beyond the grave. But now a Korean artificial intelligence firm has made that'ghoulish' vision a reality, insisting the controversial service will help friends and family cope with grief. The technology uses machine learning to process images, audio recordings and video footage of recently deceased people to create a virtual version that can interact with the living, as if on a video call. Called re;memory, the software can even answer questions from the grieving, and share memories from the past. It is expected to cost between £10,000 and £20,000 to create a virtual person, then £1,000 each time a loved one wants a conversation with it. Business development manager Joseph Murphy acknowledged that the service was controversial.

Fridges are about to get a lot cleverer. They are already useful - keeping food cold, making it last longer, and all that. But one High Street giant is stocking a new gadget that could make your fridge even cleverer. Currys have just started selling a very peculiar new piece of technology that's trying to help combat the whopping £700 of food that is apparently thrown away each year by the average UK house. The Mirror reports it has in stock a new camera loaded with artificial intelligence that goes in your fridge - and can transform it.
