As wearable devices with built-in AI features—in the form of glasses, necklaces, and clip-on pins—increasingly record and transcribe conversations at all times, "jamming devices" designed to block them have begun to emerge.
In March, startup Deveillance unveiled a hockey-puck-shaped device called 'Spectre I.' The company is reportedly founded by Aida Baradari, a college graduate who grew concerned about the rapid rise of people wearing AI-based recording devices. AI wearables are said to be spreading quickly because they can double as quiet note-taking tools, personal assistants, or even counselors.
The Limits of Jamming Technology
Recording-jamming devices are not new technology. In the past, devices emitted loud white noise; later, ultrasonic signals inaudible to the human ear were used to disrupt microphone hardware. In 2020, a research team led by Yuxin Chen at the University of Chicago presented a method using a single bracelet fitted with 23 ultrasonic transducers to broadcast jamming signals in all directions.
However, reports indicate that the voice-restoration algorithms built into the latest AI wearables are advanced enough that even high-performance jammers struggle to fully block them. Apple is also rumored to be developing an AI pin or pendant that would connect with the iPhone to listen and observe continuously, raising the possibility that such devices could become as commonplace as earbuds.
