Could a simple QR code solve the looming privacy concerns surrounding AI-powered smart glasses? A new proposal gaining traction suggests implementing a universal ‘no-record’ symbol – potentially a QR code or similar visual marker – that would automatically trigger a video recording block on devices like smart glasses equipped with AI. The concept, initially floated on Reddit’s Artificial Intelligence forum, envisions a standardized symbol, potentially even integrated at the hardware level, to ensure a baseline level of privacy. The discussion highlights growing anxieties about the increasing ubiquity of always-on recording devices and explores how manufacturers are addressing these concerns.
