Glasses:<\/strong> AI smart glasses shift human-media interaction from episodic smartphone use to continuous, context-aware overlays, becoming central interfaces in ambient computing.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Reframing Visibility and Surveillance:<\/strong> These devices change how visibility, surveillance, and interaction occur in public spaces, leading to new concerns about privacy and the use of first-person recording.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Emerging Governance Challenges:<\/strong> The technology raises issues regarding privacy, consent, data sovereignty, and the regulation of ambient computing, revealing gaps in existing governance frameworks.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Algorithmic Bias and Public Sphere Implications:<\/strong> Smart glasses use algorithms to mediate reality, leading to concerns about algorithmic bias and fragmenting shared experiences in public space, with significant implications for democratic participation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Theoretical Perspectives on Media Governance:<\/strong> A critical media governance framework is essential for understanding the societal implications of smart glasses, focusing on themes including surveillance capitalism, data colonialism, and the attention economy.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Theoretical Critique of Remediation:<\/strong> These devices refashion early media forms and intensify mediation through algorithmic overlays, making users look through the medium rather than at it.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Call for Proactive Governance:<\/strong> The article argues for proactive, participating, and infrastructure-level governance to address societal impacts, considering smart glasses not merely as consumer gadgets but as critical media infrastructures.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Future Research Directions:<\/strong> There are calls for longitudinal, non-Western, and participatory studies to better understand the transformation of the public sphere in the context of ambient AI-mediated perception.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AI smart glasses, ambient
