Norway is considering a ban on camera-enabled wearable devices like smart glasses from Meta and Snap over privacy concerns. Digital Minister Karianne Tung announced plans to regulate facial recognition use in public and establish an expert group to advise on protecting privacy rights.
Background
Norway's move reflects growing European regulatory scrutiny of AI-powered wearables and surveillance technologies. The EU has been advancing the AI Act and digital privacy frameworks that could influence similar measures across the bloc.
