The Norwegian government intends to introduce a temporary ban on AI glasses in public places

The Norwegian government intends to introduce a temporary ban on AI glasses in public places such as schools, hospitals, shopping malls, and parks.

The government plans to appoint an expert group to advice on permanent national regulations for AI glasses. A ban on AI glasses has already been implemented at the Student Society in Trondheim. The proposal mirrors a broader global backlash against smart glasses equipped with cameras over privacy concerns.
