As augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence converge in wearable technology, AI-powered smart glasses represent both technological innovation and security challenges. These devices, increasingly adopted by major tech companies like Meta, Apple, and Google, bring unprecedented capabilities alongside significant privacy and security implications that demand careful consideration.
Technical Architecture and Security Implications
Modern AI-powered smart glasses integrate sophisticated hardware and software components that create multiple attack vectors. The core architecture typically includes high-resolution cameras, environmental sensors, microphones, and cloud-connected AI systems. These elements enable advanced functionalities such as real-time facial recognition, spatial mapping, and augmented reality overlays, but also introduce potential security vulnerabilities.
Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses exemplify this technological convergence, offering features like high-definition…
