AI glasses face their first major government crackdown

Norway's data protection authority is considering a temporary national ban on AI-enabled glasses that record bystanders. The proposal aims to pause the rollout of the technology while regulators evaluate privacy implications and determine whether there are socially beneficial uses for devices capable of continuous recording. This move highlights growing tension between wearable AI hardware and European data privacy laws, potentially setting a precedent for how other countries regulate similar smart eyewear.
