Norway becomes first country to propose temporary ban on AI glasses in public places
Ars Technica AI · rss · 2026-10-05
Norway has become the first major country to propose a temporary ban on AI glasses in selected public places, amid growing privacy concerns over wearables.
The center-left government said it will soon introduce a law to parliament covering parks, beaches, schools, and kindergartens, and will set up an expert group to propose permanent national rules. Digitalization minister Torgeir Micaelsen said he is concerned people risk being photographed or recorded without their knowledge, and that a temporary ban will allow an informed debate toward permanent regulation.
