Norway plans temporary ban on smart glasses

3 hours ago
  • Norway plans a temporary ban on AI-enabled smart glasses in public places like parks, beaches, museums, and schools, while private use remains allowed.
  • The ban is driven by privacy concerns, as people risk being recorded without their knowledge; other countries have already imposed restrictions in courts, pubs, and cinemas.
  • Meta's smart glasses (Ray-Ban and Oakley) are popular but have led to incidents, such as women being filmed without consent in France, prompting calls for regulation.
