Google’s new smart glasses, like Meta’s, light up to show when they’re recording. But once you know someone is recording, what do you do next?

Axar.az informs, citing CNN, that’s one of many key privacy issues Google and other tech companies are under pressure to solve as they bring new AI-powered glasses to market.

Google on Thursday announced that the smart glasses it developed with Samsung and eyewear designers Warby Parker and Gentle Monster will launch on December 10. The release comes after Meta’s glasses have caused widespread controversy over their ability to discreetly record others, prompting bans in some venues in cities like New York and London.

None of this is lost on Google. The company says its glasses have additional privacy protections, like preventing the glasses from capturing faces when the camera is used to interact with Google’s AI agent, Gemini.

But it still hasn’t solved the core privacy problem: Many people are generally uncomfortable with glasses that can record them without their consent, even with an indicator light. And that could present a major blow to the AI ambitions of companies like Google and Meta.
