🍳👀 Is Your Air Fryer Spying on You?

Hey Explorers!

It’s all fun and games until your air fryer laughs at one of your jokes! 👀 This week, we’re taking a closer look at our “smart” devices and just how much they know about us.

Plus, Meta’s AI is stepping into defense tech, the UK’s AI chatbot is helping small biz owners (c’mon, U.S.—catch up!), and there’s a comeback for physical buttons in a touchscreen world.

And if that’s not enough, we’re diving into a Willy Wonka-inspired twist on intimacy tech and the next wave of household AI that might finally make bed-making a breeze.

Here’s what’s going on…

🔮 THE RAPID INNOVATION ACCELERATOR (RIA)

We are absolutely thrilled that Purple Horizons is partnering with Lab22c in support of the DoD Office Of Small Business Programs And MoveAmerica’s Miami Rapid Innovation Accelerator Initiative (RIA) to support businesses in South Florida as they look to take on new opportunities in the defense sector.

This groundbreaking program, led by MoveAmerica as the prime contractor, is set to boost small business participation in the defense sector and drive economic growth in South Florida.

With the support of DoD’s Mentor-Protégé Program and Florida APEX Accelerator, RIA will provide invaluable resources to help small and medium-sized businesses navigate federal contracting and develop cutting-edge technologies for defense.

Together, we’re building Miami’s role as a national hub for small business growth, defense innovation, and economic impact. 🇺🇸 🚀 Stay tuned for more info soon!
