Norway to propose temporary ban on AI glasses in some public places

Norway's center-left government announced on Monday that it will soon propose a temporary ban on the use of AI glasses in selected public places. The legislation is being introduced to parliament in response to growing privacy concerns surrounding wearable technology, specifically the potential for individuals to be photographed, filmed, or audio-recorded without their knowledge.

This move makes Norway the first major country to propose a government crackdown on AI glasses. The proposed restriction reflects an emerging global backlash against smart glasses and the privacy risks posed by pervasive wearable recording devices.
