Norway may soon introduce a “temporary ban” targeting AI smart glasses and other wearable devices that can photo, video, or even record audio. The plan isn’t in force yet, but the government reportedly aims to submit a bill to parliament soon—while still deciding the exact locations and device types covered. So where could this hit hardest? Think everyday public spaces where people rarely expect surveillance: parks, beaches, museums, and shopping centers. Even some public events—like amusement parks and sports, music, or cultural activities—could be restricted. What’s especially notable: “children and privacy-sensitive situations” are a core focus. That includes schools, kindergartens, playgrounds, after-school programs, universities, and more. Healthcare settings may also be treated as high-risk, along with places where privacy is naturally heightened—like pools and gyms with locker rooms or showers. The government hasn’t named a specific model yet. Instead, it appears to regulate by function: glasses with cameras, glasses with cameras + AI features, and other wearables that can capture/record and process content. It’s not a blanket ban—private use may still be allowed if you’re not recording others without consent. But the public question is clear: where will your “normal” day become a no-go zone? #Norway #Privacy #AI #SmartGlasses #Surveillance #DigitalRights
