Smart glasses now look almost like ordinary glasses, but they can do much more. They can take photos and videos, translate conversations, assist with navigation, recognise text and objects, and they can be operated by voice. Celebrities such as Kylie Jenner are fuelling the hype surrounding them, but just how useful are they?
At the same time, this technology raises important questions about data protection and privacy. How should we respond to the fact that people can film others without their knowledge because these devices can no longer be distinguished from ordinary glasses? Should there be stricter labelling requirements, or should they even be banned outright in public spaces?
This panel discussion brings together different perspectives on the opportunities, risks, and societal implications of these new devices.
