"When Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg arrived at a Los Angeles courthouse on Wednesday, he did so with a team that appeared to be wearing Meta's camera-equipped Ray-Ban smart glasses. Judge Carolyn Kuhl was concerned. According to CNBC, Kuhl warned anyone recording with the glasses, "If you have done that, you must delete that, or you will be held in contempt of the court." Kuhl also ordered everyone wearing AI smart glasses to remove them. Even after the warning, at least one person was seen wearing the glasses around jurors in a courthouse hallway, although plaintiff attorney Rachel Lanier was told the glasses weren't recording at the time."
"Glasses with recording capabilities have sparked concerns about privacy, surveillance, and doxxing in all kinds of places, and the courtroom is no exception. Earlier this month, a user on the r/legaladvice subreddit shared a post asking for advice on reporting a plaintiff wearing Meta's glasses to court. Additionally, over recent months, a few states have moved to specifically ban smart glasses from courthouses, including the US District Courts for the District of Hawaii and the Western District of Wisconsin. The Forsyth County Court in North Carolina also banned smart glasses last year. Colorado's District Court is considering a ban as well."
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg arrived at a Los Angeles courthouse with a team that appeared to be wearing Meta's camera-equipped Ray-Ban smart glasses. Judge Carolyn Kuhl warned anyone recording with the glasses that recorded material must be deleted or risk contempt of court and ordered everyone wearing AI smart glasses to remove them. At least one person was later seen wearing the glasses near jurors, and plaintiff attorney Rachel Lanier was told the glasses were not recording. Glasses with recording capabilities have raised privacy, surveillance, and doxxing concerns in courtrooms. Several courts have moved to ban smart glasses, including the US District Courts for the District of Hawaii and the Western District of Wisconsin, and the Forsyth County Court in North Carolina; Colorado's District Court is considering a ban. As smart glasses become more common, keeping courts safe from unwanted recording may become an uphill battle.
