Will Gottsagen

Will Gottsagen is the [[TheAtlantic|Atlantic]] writer interviewed in The year in AI wearables about AI-enabled wearables as a 2025 technology trend. In the Marketplace Tech episode, he frames the market as a search for a third computing device beyond phones and laptops: something body-worn, context-aware, and able to connect large language models to vision, hearing, voice, and gesture.

His contribution is skeptical but not dismissive. Gottsagen treats Meta’s newest glasses as a more mature example of Wearable AI Assistant design because of display and gesture controls, while emphasizing that Wi-Fi, cloud computation, public voice-command awkwardness, and privacy concerns still limit everyday usefulness.
