Norway Proposes Temporary Ban on AI Glasses in Certain Public and Private Spaces
Norway's government plans to propose a temporary ban on AI-enabled smart glasses in selected public and privacy-sensitive places, including parks, schools, healthcare facilities, and gyms. The move aims to prevent people from being recorded without consent amid growing privacy concerns. Private use and situations without risk of non-consensual recording would remain allowed. The government will define the scope of technology covered and establish an expert group to advise on permanent regulations.
