挪威成为首个提议临时禁用AI眼镜的主要国家

挪威政府宣布将向议会提交法案，在公共场所临时禁用AI眼镜。12这一提议涵盖公园、海滩、学校、幼儿园、博物馆、商场、日托中心、医疗设施、健身房和公共活动等多个场所。2挪威劳工党政府此举旨在应对隐私风险，防止人们在未知情的情况下被拍摄或录制。数字化部长托尔盖尔·米卡尔森表示："我们不想要一个人们担心在习惯不被监控的地方被记录、拍摄或录像的社会。"2

政府计划同步成立专家组，为永久性国家规则提出建议。1临时禁令将为进行彻底评估和知情辩论争取时间，为制定长期监管奠定基础。1这一提案需要其他党派支持才能通过。2

全球范围内，智能眼镜引发的隐私担忧日益加剧。2Meta的Ray-Ban智能眼镜自2023年初以来至少售出900万副。2英国餐厅和酒吧已经禁用此类设备，电影院从8月起开始实施限制政策。2加州州长高文·纽森上周否决了禁止在更衣室、医生办公室等隐私空间进行未经同意录制的立法。2法国儿童福利组织E-enfance今年收到约20份妇女被智能眼镜秘密拍摄的报告，其中大多数涉及Meta智能眼镜。2

Norway has become the first major country to propose a temporary ban on AI-equipped glasses in public spaces.12 The center-left Norwegian government announced plans to submit legislation to parliament that would prohibit the use of smart glasses with cameras in parks, beaches, schools, kindergartens, museums, shopping centers, gyms, medical facilities, and public events.12 The move aims to address privacy concerns around people being recorded or photographed without their knowledge or consent.

Digital Affairs Minister Torgil Mikaelsen stated the government's rationale, saying: "I am concerned that this powerful new technology will lead to people being photographed and recorded without their knowledge."1 He further emphasized: "We do not want a society where people worry about being recorded, photographed or filmed in places where they are accustomed to not being monitored."2 To support this temporary measure, Norway will establish an expert group tasked with proposing permanent national regulations.1 The interim ban is intended to provide time for thorough assessment and informed public debate before establishing long-term legal frameworks.

The Norwegian initiative reflects growing global concern over smart glasses privacy risks.2 Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses have sold at least 9 million units since early 2023,2 raising alarm among regulators and safety advocates worldwide. Some countries and businesses have already taken action: restaurants and bars in the United Kingdom have prohibited smart glasses, while cinemas there began implementing restrictions starting in August.2 However, efforts to restrict such devices have faced resistance; California Governor Gavin Newsom last week vetoed legislation that would have banned non-consensual recordings in privacy spaces such as changing rooms and medical offices.2 In France, the child welfare organization E-enfance reported receiving approximately 20 reports this year of women being secretly photographed with smart glasses, with most cases involving Meta's device.2
