Norway floats temporary but total ban on AI glasses as it investigates 'socially beneficial uses'
Fortune The Associated Press ● Covered by 3 sources
Norway’s government proposed a temporary ban on AI glasses in certain public places while it investigates how they could be used to record people without their knowledge. The proposal will go to parliament, the Storting, “as soon as possible.” The plan would restrict use in privacy-sensitive settings such as healthcare and places children gather, with potential exceptions for private use and “socially beneficial uses” in limited cases.
Why it matters
Officials want a temporary ban as smart glasses make it easier to photograph, film and record people without their knowledge.
