Norway to Implement Temporary Ban on AI-Powered Smart Glasses in Public Spaces

The Norwegian government is preparing to introduce a temporary ban on AI-powered smart glasses in various public areas, including parks, schools, museums, medical facilities, and shopping malls. This measure aims to protect citizens' privacy, as modern AI glasses are equipped with cameras, microphones, and AI features capable of object recognition, conversation processing, and environmental recording. An expert group will be established to study the technology and develop recommendations for permanent national regulation.
