Sticking with the issue of smart glasses, the federal government will today unveil proposed changes to Australia's privacy laws.
Attorney-General Michelle Rowland is unveiling a new identity protection service, IDLock, and protections to "keep pace" with the rapid development of AI and smart glasses.
The reforms will include a right to erasure, allowing individuals to request large digital platforms like social media and search platforms destroy their personal information.
Speaking with Nine, Labor frontbencher Murray Watt says it's about trying to "put Australians more in control of their private information".
"When it comes to smart glasses, we think that there are real privacy risks with people having photos of themselves, images of themselves taken by these glasses without their consent and when they don't even know it's happening," he says.
"So we're going to make sure that we keep changing the law to keep pace with technological change."
The eSafety commissioner wants "smart glasses" to automatically blur the faces of people being filmed without their consent.
In a note published to industry, the watchdog warned of the harm people can experience after being unknowingly filmed.
"Used in this way, smart glasses can reinforce and normalise watching, recording and controlling women in public without their knowledge," the note said.
"This contributes to harmful gendered stereotypes and undermines women's agency in public spaces".
The eSafety commissioner outlined "critical steps" companies could take, including ensuring glasses have clear recording lights that can't be switched off or covered up.
"If we do not act now to prevent design elements from being weaponised to cause harm, we risk unsafe features becoming entrenched".
The federal Greens and some independents want the federal government to impose a 12-month ban on the import of "smart glasses" while Australia's privacy laws catch up.
