Children, consent and cybertrauma in the age of wearable AI
Meta Ray-Ban and Oakley AI glasses may look like ordinary eyewear, but their built-in cameras, microphones and artificial intelligence raise serious questions about privacy, consent and online harm. In this episode of The Complaining Cow Consumer Show on East London Radio, presenter Helen Dewdney talks to Dr Catherine Knibbs consultant child and adult trauma psychotherapist, cyberpsychologist and online-harms specialist, about the human impact of wearable technology.
How can you tell when somebody wearing smart glasses is recording? What are the risks in schools, workplaces, hospitals and other sensitive environments? What happens when footage is uploaded without the knowledge or consent of the people captured and why may children be particularly vulnerable?
We discuss cybertrauma, safeguarding, bystander privacy, the responsibilities of users and technology companies, and whether existing rules are keeping pace with rapidly developing wearable AI.
