EU regulators: Smart glasses makers must ensure GDPR compliance for bystanders

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) has issued guidance stating that manufacturers of smart glasses cannot solely depend on the wearers to fulfill their obligations under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The board highlighted that bystanders, who may not notice recording LEDs, are not adequately protected by this approach. Consequently, AI training on images captured by these devices faces significant challenges under GDPR. AI

IMPACT This ruling could significantly impact how AI models are trained on visual data captured by wearable devices, potentially requiring new consent mechanisms and data handling practices.
