Canterbury-Bankstown has overwhelmingly approved a ban on AI smart glasses at its public pools, after residents raised fears about covert filming in changing rooms, pools and near schools. Mayor Bilal El-Hayek called them “pervert glasses”. Brisbane, Yarra and Randwick councils have also introduced similar restrictions, while federal privacy reforms are being considered.
