    Nov 11 2025
    AI wearables are changing everything — and not always for the better.

    Kary and Katie reveal how smart devices are creating new forms of IP theft and what creators and brands must do to stay protected.

    If you have a website, a podcast, social media accounts, or even a LinkedIn profile, then you SHOULD be using Instant IP to protect your ideas. If not, AI WILL scrape your content and serve it up to other people as search results to their prompts.

    The world will then take and use your ideas, thinking that they’re original. They may even lock you out of your own idea, claiming they created it first.
