The Verge’s latest AI column argues that smart glasses are colliding with a basic social problem: people around the wearer may not know when they are being recorded, analyzed, or assisted by AI.
That concern matters as Meta and other companies push camera-equipped wearables from novelty toward everyday computing. The technical features may be useful, but the social contract remains unsettled.
The next wave of AI hardware will need visible norms and controls, not just better cameras and assistants.
