Ireland’s Oireachtas AI Committee has called for smart glasses that can record people to be regulated over privacy concerns. The bigger question: should they be banned outright?

    This works better in Europe because making it a regulated medical device in the USA means “poor can use stick”.

      In California it is unlawful for anyone to carry a predominantly white cane unless they are at least partially blind. I dont see it as much of a stretch to extend that law to glasses like these.

        Shit. I’m in California and colorblind, which I suspect isn’t blind enough to count, but is blind enough to buy the wrong cane.
