## Key points

- Camera-equipped AI glasses are being restricted in more public places.
- Punjab imposed a 30-day ban in October 2026.
- Rules vary by venue, with wider restrictions under consideration.

## Summary

AI glasses with cameras are facing growing restrictions in courts, schools and other public spaces, driven by concerns about covert recording, privacy and security. No country has imposed a permanent, blanket ban, but local rules show how authorities and organisations are responding as camera-equipped glasses become harder to distinguish from ordinary eyewear.

Pakistan’s Punjab province introduced a 30-day ban in October 2026 on the use and sale of camera glasses and disguised miniature cameras. New York bars them from 1,240 state and local courts, while courts in England and Wales also restrict them; public schools in Western Australia have banned them, and Victoria’s similar policy starts in January 2027. Other restrictions cover SAT test sites and military bases, while Norway is considering wider temporary limits. In September 2026, Paris prosecutors opened investigations after complaints that women had been filmed without consent and footage posted online.
