Microsoft wants to make an AI backpack

AI is everywhere, and now it has come for the bags on our backs. Microsoft is seemingly working on an AI-powered backpack. Yes, you heard it right – a smart backpack with artificial intelligence.

Microsoft recently filed a patent for a smart backpack powered by AI technology and equipped with various sensors. The US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has recently approved the application, filed back in May.

The patent is for “AI-assisted wearables,” but the illustrations show a backpack. The proposed backpack would use speakers, a camera, GPS, and pressure sensors embedded in the straps to sense the surrounding environment.
