Will AI glasses replace mobile phones?

Meta's smart glasses, which include cameras, microphones, and AI, have sparked concerns about privacy and surveillance. The glasses, sold under the Ray-Ban brand, have been used to secretly record women, including in a recent incident where a man used them to film a brief encounter with a woman in a Target store. Critics, including privacy activists and journalists, have denounced the glasses as a "spy software" and a "perversion" that could enable facial recognition and other forms of surveillance.

Despite these concerns, sales of smart glasses are expected to grow rapidly, with estimates suggesting they could generate $44 billion in sales by 2032.
