There are lots of issues I have with them in terms of privacy, but I’m going to be very specific in asking about a certain situation and would prefer to stay on that topic if possible.
I have seen someone showing AI glasses which allow the wearer to cheat at chess. The glasses provide the wearer with computer engine moves, essentially making them unbeatable against even the strongest grand masters.
How can someone prevent this from happening, for example in a tournament match?
I don’t consider this as being an issue at the highest level of professional play, but for club and casual players they might not have the resources to deal with this.
Currently the camera and/or screen information might be fairly obvious just by looking, but assuming technology improves this could become harder to detect.
Retrospectively, it would be easy to spot a cheater and correct results, however this still spoils things by having the cheating in the first place.
It isn’t realistic to ask people to play without glasses, and I’m not aware of any way to stop cameras or ai from functioning.
So what can be done, if anything?
Maybe use pieces with nonstandard shapes, or colors?
I think non standard pieces could be easily adapted to with ai, for example just by observing the start position :/
I also think it would be disruptive to the players. Especially tournaments require standard pieces.
What about gold and silver pieces with mirror-like finishes? Their appearances would change with every move, as they reflect the different pieces around them.
AI will likely register the board as chess or checkers then on the first few moves realize it’s chess and begin narrowing down spaces with or without the reflections then displaying potential moves. A big issue with AI is its ability to adapt to new information.
