French prosecutors and regulators step up scrutiny on smart glasses
Paris prosecutors have initiated a criminal probe into suspected sexual harassment linked to smart glasses, while French data protection authorities have received complaints from businesses over the devices' social impact. The controversy stems from the global success of U.S. tech giant Meta's AI-enabled smart glasses, which have a 76% market share and sold 7 million units last year.
However, this success has raised concerns worldwide regarding issues such as sexual harassment, corporate wrongdoing, and illicit surveillance.
