Norway moves to ban AI glasses with hidden cameras

Original: Den norska regeringen har tappat tålamodet. Skolor, stränder och köpcentrum pekas ut när landet vill stoppa smygfilmning

The Norwegian government is preparing the world's first ban on so-called 'creep glasses' — smart glasses with hidden cameras — in places such as schools, beaches and shopping centres. Officials say the measure targets covert filming and harassment, and Norway is presenting itself as the first country to restrict the devices in specific locations. The proposal comes as AI-powered wearable cameras become more widespread and concern grows over people being filmed without consent.

Why now: Norway's proposal to ban camera-equipped AI glasses in schools, beaches and shopping centres is the first of its kind and raises fresh debate about privacy and covert filming.
