Norway has become the first country to move toward banning AI glasses in many public places. Here is the full picture. The government announced on Monday that it will propose a temporary ban on wearing AI glasses in selected public spaces, Reuters reported. The concern is simple: the glasses can photograph, film and audio-record people without them knowing. The ban could cover parks, beaches, museums, shopping centres and public events, plus schools, playgrounds, youth clubs, doctors’ offices, swimming pools and gyms. What is not banned? Private use at home, and any use where others are not at risk of being recorded without consent. The government also said it is still deciding which technology the ban will cover, from glasses with cameras and audio recording to wider body-worn tech with AI functions. Why now? Smart glasses sales are growing fast, and critics say a blinking LED light is not real consent. Oslo already banned the devices in schools in August. The government will send a bill to parliament soon and appoint an expert group on permanent rules. If it passes, Norway will set the first national template for regulating wearable AI.
