AI Glasses: The New Blind Spot

AI enabled glasses are about to become every company’s next crisis. Over the coming 3–6 months, consumer AI wearables with always on recording, transcription and analysis will enter workplaces faster than policies can keep up. This session uses a real case study: an employee who arrived at work wearing AI glasses, initially banned by security, only to present a valid medical prescription. The incident exposed unpreparedness across privacy, information security, AI governance, employment law, disability accommodations and even criminal-law restrictions on covert recording. Our panel will unpack why this scenario is about to become universal and how to respond before it becomes a headline. Attendees will receive practical solutions based on our experience and actionable models they can use immediately: rapid risk triage, device handling protocols, lawful exceptions for medical use and governance structures that align privacy, security, HR and legal. Expect a pragmatic, defensible approach that companies can deploy the moment AI glasses walk through the door.

What you will learn:

• How to build practical, legally defensible policies for AI glasses and other wearable AI technologies. 
• How to handle situations where employment law, disability accommodations and data protection obligations collide. 
• How to assess and mitigate risks of covert recording, biometric processing and real time data extraction in the workplace, and how to run rapid triage when an unknown AI device enters a sensitive environment.
