AI-Powered 'Friend' Necklace Promises Constant Companionship

The wearable device offers digital support through text messages, but raises privacy and societal concerns.

Friend is a $99 AI necklace that listens to wearers and sends supportive text messages.
Created by Avi Schiffmann, the device aims to address loneliness by providing conversational companionship.
