What’s a good use for augmented-reality glasses combined with AI? How
about recognition of billboards and other advertising material in your

In some parts of the world, billboards are the only way to reliably

But if a computer is relied to recognize an advertisement, someone will
figure out a way to break that recognition to get it to show anyway.
It's as sure as the Halting Problem.
