The technology industry has been searching for the “next smartphone” for a decade. Now he thinks he found it with AI

by

In the last decade, wearables have become intrinsically associated with health care and sports. And although in 2025 we can make the same association, there are a growing number of companies and devices that have committed themselves to turning them around to turn wearables into vehicles for AI. The leaders of some of the main big tech companies already They have glimpsed the end of the mobile and between the options (in practice, still very green) these wearables with AI appear, which today are more of a complement. In search of the new iPhone. In any case, the industry has been looking for mass hardware after the smartphone for almost two decades. The glasses seem to start by advantage, but the initiatives are many and very varied. In any case, it is no longer just about becoming the winning format, it is about materializing a device that covers needs yet to be defined and where the smartphone has set a very high ceiling. In fact, smartwatches have not come close to overshadowing it. AI glasses have an advantage. Of course, they are the best positioned. In the past CES 2025 we saw ‘smart’ glasses (although that semantics typical of the era of the failed Google Glass has already been banished in favor of the surname ‘with AI’) even in the soup with the promise of immersive and hands-free experiences, but Meta is the one who has landed and sold its product best. Makes perfect sense: Mark Zuckerberg himself has stated who believes that glasses are the ideal format for AI. And for Meta, AI is his new Multiverse. After all, as we have seen, glasses are a discreet and convenient way towards multimodality: visual, through their lenses; and oral, with its integrated microphones and speakers. But it doesn’t matter if we talk about Meta’s glasses or those of Googlethe new glasses smart They no longer look like a hulk, they are designed to be worn all day and their purpose is to interact with AI. Pendants, pins and everything else. Other gadgets that accompany you throughout the day for constant listening come into this mixed bag: from the Bee AI bracelet to the LimitLess pendants or Friend passing through the ring Stream Ring or the difficult to describe Plaud NotePin: it looks like the capsule of Xiaomi bracelets and as such, it can be worn on the wrist, on the neck and even as a tacky pin. These initiatives have not gone unnoticed by the large companies, which have made a move by opening their portfolio: Bee AI bought Amazon in summer and LimitLess did the same Goal just a few weeks ago. old acquaintances. AI is also being integrated into existing devices: Samsung and Google have put Gemini on their WearOS watches, Garmin has a premium subscription to analysis with AI for its watches, Fitbit is testing an AI trainerthe same thing that Apple does with its Watch or the AI translation on AirPods. Even the rings Oura they have their advisor with AI. Every breath you take…We mentioned above that AI glasses were born to be worn all day, something that can be extrapolated to the bulk of the devices that we have been listing. For AI assistants to work well and offer something extra on the mobile, they need to know a lot about the user and there is no better way to do this than on a wearable that is with you 24/7. Disturbing but true. In this field there are unknowns such as what format will be successful and whether it will be as successful or more successful than the smartphone (even if it is buried), but there are two unquestionable facts: that there is a war to have hegemonic AI among big tech and that the industry has seen wearables as the ideal vehicle to implement it.

For years we have seen dolphins swim towards orcas without fear. Now technology has found out why

by

Until very recently, marine biology had an unwritten rule about the North Pacific: the orcas are the queens and dolphins, at best, a nuisance; and at worst, food for the orcas. However, science suggests that we were really wrongsince orcas and white dolphins have been caught collaborating with each other. It’s not a casual interaction.. It is a coordinated hunting strategy to catch the elusive Chinook salmon, documented for the first time thanks to a technological arsenal that includes drones and subjective cameras attached to the animals themselves. This is something that has been demonstrated in the study Led by Sarah Fortune, it focuses on northern resident killer whales, a subspecies that feeds exclusively on fish. For five years, researchers were seeing something that didn’t add up: the dolphins weren’t running away from the orcas, but rather deliberately swimming toward them. A collaboration with meaning. And these two species, which in theory should be far apart, do not collaborate just for the sake of it, but for a common good: the food. Dolphins, faster and more agile, act as scouts, locating schools of salmon. The orcas, with their brute strength and size, are responsible for the final capture of the largest specimens, impossible for a dolphin to hunt alone. The result? A shared feast. The orcas have been observed dividing the prey and allowing the dolphins to feed on the scraps and pieces that come off, in a kind of food “non-aggression pact.” Something that escapes everything we knew until now. How they discovered it. Observing this from a boat is really complicated, since seeing what happens underwater is almost impossible. To achieve this, the Fortune team used CATS tags. Some devices adhere to the orcas using suction cups and are like biological black boxes. They have the ability to record high-definition video in the deep sea, capture the acoustics around them and also have accelerometers and magnetometers to record depth and movement. A complete technological set that allowed us to obtain 258 documented events of dolphins interacting near the heads of the orcas. A silent mode. The acoustic analysis revealed the most fascinating fact about the intelligent behavior of these cetaceans. the orcasfamous for their complex use of echolocation for huntingreduced their own clicks and whistles when dolphins were present. The researchers’ hypothesis is clear: the orcas are outsourcing the sonar. They let the dolphins do the noisy work of finding the fish and they just listen and follow their marine “hunting dogs.” It is a brutal energy optimization. The orcas are saved the metabolic cost of searching and the dolphins gain protection and access to giant salmon that their jaws couldn’t process alone. The salmon crisis. This alliance may not be entirely natural, but rather a forced adaptation to a situation of food scarcity. Something that has meant that two predators have to learn to tolerate each other and cooperate to survive.

chip factories will have to use 50% national technology

by

Since the US allowed NVIDIA to sell its H200 chip to China, there have been two reactions. On the one hand there are the Chinese companies, such as Alibaba or Bytedancewho want to get hold of them as soon as possible. On the other hand, the reluctance of the Chinese government whose main objective is to stop depending on the US. Now they have taken another step in that direction. what has happened. According to one Reuters exclusivethe Chinese government has imposed a new rule on semiconductor manufacturers that want to expand their production capacity: they must do so using at least 50% equipment manufactured in China. It is not a public standard that is included in an official document, but they say from Reuters that manufacturers that have recently expanded their factories have found themselves required to demonstrate that half of their equipment was ‘made in China’. If they do not comply, it is normal that they will be denied. Why is it important. It is further proof of Beijing’s determination to prioritize national chips, but it goes even further by requiring that the necessary machinery also be national. In this way it impacts the entire supply chain, not just the chips. The striking thing is by making the minimum 50% it is causing manufacturers to have to prioritize Chinese technology even in areas where they could be done with foreign technology. The goal is clear: total self-sufficiency. The winners. Before the ban, Chinese chipmakers like SMIC typically used American equipment and Chinese manufacturers were their last option. Now they have no choice but to turn to companies like Naura Technology and AMEC, whose demand for lithography machinery has increased exponentially and with it its income. Furthermore, this demand has caused them to improve their technology more quickly, something that is reflected in the registration of patents. In 2025 Naura registered 779 patents, more than double that of several previous years. Self-sufficiency. The biggest challenge is in semiconductors; Without access to the most advanced lithography machines, Chinese chips are several years behind the most advanced ones made by companies like ASML or TSMC. In parallel to all these policies to prioritize national chips, China is promoting projects to ‘hack’ that technology and be able to place themselves at the same level. At the level of AI chips, they are also promoting companies that They seek to be ‘the Chinese NVIDIA’ like MetaX or Moore Threads. They still have a long way to go, but it is no longer a question of if, but when.
