AI Smart Glasses: Fear, Privacy and Promise
Critics have labelled them 'pervert glasses', lawsuits have raised privacy concerns and some venues have banned them. Yet for many visually impaired users, smart glasses are proving transformative.
In this episode, AI Decoded focuses on a technology that's been making headlines for all the wrong reasons: AI-powered smart glasses.
Critics have labelled them 'pervert glasses', lawsuits have raised privacy concerns, and some venues have banned them altogether. Yet for many blind and visually impaired users, the same technology is proving transformative, helping people read menus, identify surroundings and navigate the world more easily.
Are smart glasses a new surveillance threat, or are we in danger of demonising a technology with the potential to benefit millions? Joining the show are AI ethicist Dr Stephanie Hare, Silkie Carlo of Big Brother Watch and Consumer tech expert Ben Hatton from CCS Insight. We also hear from women concerned about the impact of Meta's smart glasses in a 麻豆社 News report.
