Summary
Imagine slipping on a sleek pair of smart glasses. Not only do you look sharp, the glasses capture everything you see, hear, and do. Your AI assistant—built into the glasses and synced to your email, social media accounts, health apps, and finances—manages your life. It’s tasked with paying bills, booking trips, replying to messages, even helping you swipe right. Over time, you find yourself chitchatting with your AI assistant. You call him Charlie. Now imagine you’re a threat actor. That trust between user and AI assistant? It’s your entry point. If your product is powered by AI, you’re not just designing features—you’re designing an entire relationship. You’re designing Charlie. Let’s talk about where that goes wrong—and how to get it right.
