The Benevolent AI Paradox: Friend or Foe?
Artificial intelligence's portrayal in popular movies and theoretical fiction often oscillates between two extreme narratives: one that puts AI as humanity's savior, leading to a golden age of prosperity and creativity, and a second narrative that makes it the source of dystopian situations where machines rise against man.

It’s been so long since the introduction of the world’s first smart ring, the first generation of the Ōura Ring, almost a decade ago, that I find it funny that a leading company such as Samsung is entering the smart ring party so late.
