A future scientist has confirmed that augmented reality devices powered by artificial intelligence will give humans superpowers to detect lies and read other people's feelings.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Devin Liddell, chief futurist at Teague, said computer vision systems built into headphones or eyeglasses will pick up emotional signals that human eyes and instincts can't.

Technology will allow people to detect lies, along with false political detection.

When augmented reality "merges" with artificial intelligence, Liddell said, humans will gain sensory superpowers that will "change the social landscape."

He described this as a "back channel" - a term commonly used to describe discussions that are not publicized and that can give people an advantage in negotiations, for example.

He foresees a "convergence of computer vision technologies, artificial intelligence, and consumer wearable devices" in the coming years.

"The wearer will be able to distinguish all kinds of physiological and psychological data from other people," Liddell said.

Combined with artificial intelligence, this will give people a constant back channel about who they are interacting with at the moment.

And the futurist believes glasses can silently deliver information that can give people an edge in everything from politics to the dating scene.

The global augmented reality market is expected to reach $597.54 billion by 2030, according to Grand View Research, with Apple's $3,499 Vision Pro launching in early 2024.

AI is already showing promise in "reading" people's emotions, with companies like Zoom offering "sentiment analysis" in experimental products - where machines read what people are feeling and what they're saying based on their expressions.

Liddell believes that these cognitive "superpowers" will enable people to spot everything from hidden illnesses to mental problems - and that they will be fully utilized.

“Humans engage in many opportunity and advantage-seeking behaviors, and they will put these superpowers into back channels for use in all sorts of areas, from complex political negotiations to mundane first dates,” Liddell said. Early use cases will present scenarios where only one participant has superpowers. In the back channel, it creates very uneven pitches, so in the end everyone will have a level."

The use of such tools has already been controversial - as witnessed in a 2016 study by Shanghai Jiao Tong University, where researchers claimed that a neural network could identify criminals from an image of their faces with an accuracy of up to 89.5%.

In the future, Liddell said, researchers may be able to measure the financial well-being of daters — and even their fertility — just by looking at them.

"There will be efforts to ban their use due to cases of serious abuse - I think customs officials deny entry to travelers with mental illness and unscrupulous employers remove less healthy job applicants from their health insurance rolls before they can be hired," he continued.

Partners and families will strive to make the home free of back channels.

But these attempts at resistance will be in vain as the systems become increasingly smaller and inexpensive, and eventually find their way into our bodies through implants in the retina and ear canal.
