Dutch paper NRC: no place for AI glasses in free society

Dutch newspaper NRC has published an editorial arguing that AI-powered smart glasses have no place in a free society. The piece, noted by law and privacy researcher Frederik Borgesius, is striking because NRC is not considered a left-leaning outlet, suggesting opposition to always-on camera and AI surveillance devices is crossing political lines. Commentators are sharing the editorial amid ongoing debate over privacy, constant recording in public spaces, and the lack of legal safeguards around wearable AI technology.
Why now: Growing public concern over Meta-style AI glasses and mass recording is prompting mainstream outlets to take a strong stance on privacy
