Norway considers ban on camera-enabled wearable ‘pervert glasses’

Norway’s Tung said there is a “clear trend toward combining artificial intelligence with cameras and microphones built into glasses, headphones, hats and other objects we use in everyday life.”

“We must prevent this equipment from being used to monitor other people in public places,” said Tung, who added that this may include banning the use of facial recognition of other people in public places.

Tung plans to set up a group of experts to advise the government on better protecting people’s privacy rights.
