AI Wearable Privacy

AI wearables and other persistent-sensing devices can capture biometric information, conversations, images, locations, and intimate details of daily life.

Smart glasses and prospective AI hardware have raised questions about facial recognition, whether people know they are being recorded, how long footage is retained, who can review it, and whether data is reused to train AI or robotics systems. Risks extend beyond device owners to children, guests, coworkers, and passersby. Key safeguards include clear consent and notice, deletion rights, strong security, limited retention, and processing data on the device where possible.
