A New Exoskeleton Promises Super-Human Stride
PARIS - A freshly unveiled piece of kit, dubbed an "AI exoskeleton," is making waves, promising to augment human locomotion. The device, reportedly costing around $2,000, integrates artificial intelligence to enhance leg movement. Details remain sparse, but the aim appears to be a fusion of human biology and computational hardware.
This new exoskeleton positions itself as a discreet integration of technology, unlike overt gadgets. Its developers claim it can process and store data, a capability previously seen in devices like smart rings and watches, but now applied directly to the user's physical frame.
Security Questions Surface
The emergence of such advanced, wearable tech inevitably brings forth unsettling questions. Recent events, such as an interim worker found with Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses on a secure Rafale assembly line, highlight a "critical flaw" in physical security: the unchecked ingress of consumer-grade connected objects into highly sensitive areas.

Furthermore, the public tracking of a Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier via the Strava app has thrown into stark relief a pressing concern for Chief Information Officers: the permeability between personal digital lives and corporate security. This new exoskeleton, by its very nature of being worn and connected, could exacerbate these existing vulnerabilities.
Context: The Rise of Wearables
The ongoing proliferation of connected objects – from the previously mentioned smart rings and watches to more intrusive items like smart glasses – represents a fundamental shift. These devices are no longer just tools; they are extensions of the user, constantly collecting and processing information. This trend forces a re-evaluation of what constitutes a secure environment, both physically and digitally. The line between personal expression and operational security appears increasingly blurred.
