Norway Proposes Temporary Ban on AI Glasses in Selected Public Places
Norway's government plans to propose a temporary ban on AI glasses in certain public places due to privacy concerns about unauthorized recording. The ban could cover locations like parks, museums, schools, and privacy-sensitive areas such as doctors' offices and gyms. Private use and situations without risk of non-consensual recording would remain allowed. The government will present a bill soon and establish an expert group to advise on permanent regulations for body-worn technology with cameras and AI functions.
