Norway aims to get ahead of the rest of Europe by proposing a temporary ban on the use of smart glasses in certain public spaces. The government has announced it will introduce this measure while considering permanent legislation to regulate the cameras, microphones, and artificial intelligence systems integrated into wearable devices. The ban would apply to Ray-Ban Meta glasses and any similar wearables.
Privacy is the primary concern. The Minister of Digitalization and Public Administration has expressed concern over the speed at which this technology is reaching the market.
