1. Context
(i) Problem: Wearable AI devices like Humane AI Pin and Meta's Ray-Ban glasses are capturing vast amounts of personal data, raising concerns about privacy, consent, and data ownership.

(ii) Existing methods' shortcomings: Current practices lack transparency in content creation and distribution, struggle with verifying authorship and ownership, and offer insufficient user control over personal data.

(iii) Proposed solution: Combining C2PA for content provenance and TSP for authentic distribution can address these issues by providing verifiable authorship, enhancing privacy controls, and enabling decentralized content sharing.

2. Actors

• Users: Wear AI devices and generate content
• Content creators: Produce and share AI-enhanced content
• Platform providers: Manage the infrastructure for wearable AI services
• Third-party developers: Create applications leveraging wearable AI data
• Regulators: Oversee data protection and privacy compliance

These actors can use TSP+C2PA to securely create, share, and consume content while maintaining provenance and respecting privacy preferences.

3. Data

• Audio and video recordings from wearable devices
• Biometric data (heart rate, activity levels, etc.)
• Location data
• Environmental data (temperature, air quality, etc.)
• User interactions and commands
• Augmented reality content overlays

Data is captured by wearable devices, processed locally or in the cloud, and exchanged between devices and services.

4. Governance

• Implementation of data minimization and purpose limitation principles
• User consent mechanisms for data collection and processing
• Transparent data usage policies and user controls
• Compliance with data protection regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA)
• Ethical guidelines for AI-driven decision-making
• Mechanisms for content moderation and dispute resolution

5. AI Models

• Computer vision models for object and scene recognition
• Natural language processing for voice commands and text analysis
• Recommendation systems for personalized content and services
• Anomaly detection for health and safety monitoring
• Predictive models for user behavior and preferences
• Federated learning models for privacy-preserving collaborative AI training

6. Output

• Augmented reality overlays in user's field of view
• Haptic feedback for notifications and alerts
• Audio responses through bone conduction or speakers
• Health insights and recommendations
• Personalized content recommendations
• Environmental and contextual information displays
• Integration with smart home and IoT devices for seamless interactions

The output is primarily consumed through the wearable device itself, but may also be accessed through companion smartphone apps or web interfaces for more detailed analysis and interaction.
Wearable AI (Humanes AI Pin, Metas Ray Ban)
all of our interactions are seamlessly captured and digitally stored by these devices. Issues around privacy, consent, and data ownership will need to be carefully navigated.

Wearable AI refers to artificial intelligence technologies integrated into wearable devices such as smartwatches, headsets, or augmented reality glasses. These devices are designed to provide hands-free, immersive, and contextual experiences by leveraging sensors, cameras, and other input modalities.
The most popular use cases for Wearable AI include:
Augmented Reality (AR): Devices like the Humane AI Pin and Meta's Rayban glasses overlay digital information onto the physical world, providing real-time contextual information, navigation assistance, and interactive experiences.
Virtual Assistants: Wearable AI devices can integrate virtual assistants like Siri or Alexa, enabling hands-free voice commands, information retrieval, and task automation.
Health and Fitness Tracking: Smartwatches and fitness trackers use AI to monitor vital signs, activity levels, and provide personalized coaching and recommendations.
Industrial and Enterprise Applications: Wearable AI can enhance productivity, safety, and efficiency in various industries, such as manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare, by providing workers with real-time data, instructions, and augmented guidance.
Problems to solve and weaknesses in current practices:
Lack of transparency and auditability in content creation and distribution
Challenges in establishing and verifying authorship and ownership
Privacy concerns and insufficient control over personal data collection and usage
Copyright infringement and unauthorized content sharing
Centralized control and limited scalability in traditional web service models
How C2PA + TSP can help :
C2PA provides provenance information for content, enabling transparency and auditing of the content creation and modification process.
TSP supports authentic and optionally confidential or private distribution of content by anyone, enabling decentralized and distributed content sharing across boundaries.
The combination of C2PA and TSP can establish verifiable authorship and ownership of content, facilitating proper attribution and copyright enforcement.
C2PA and TSP can facilitate data collection consent mechanisms, giving users more control over their personal data and how it is used.
TSP's decentralized nature promotes interoperability and seamless integration across different platforms and devices.
What is not in scope:
Specific hardware or device implementations for Wearable AI
Details of user interface design or user experience considerations
Integration with specific virtual assistant platforms (e.g., Siri, Alexa)
