For some, 'eyes and ears', for others, 'a surveillance camera'… Measures to prevent AI glasses harm are needed.

A recent study by the Gyeonggi Research Institute found that 9 out of 10 Koreans are concerned about the risks of being photographed or recorded without their consent by someone wearing AI glasses. The study, which surveyed 600 people, revealed a dual attitude towards AI glasses, with respondents expecting benefits from personal use but expressing concerns about others using them.

The top concerns were secret photography and videography (89.5%), illegal photography and stalking (87.2%), and secret conversation recording (86.5%). The study suggested that regulations should be put in place to address these concerns, proposing a "traffic light rule" that takes into account the location and function of the AI glasses.
