    "Adelaide’s city council could look into banning AI smart glasses, with a councillor pushing for an investigation on restrictions in public places.

    A prominent Adelaide Fringe venue has also signalled potential support for a ban, while a bill that would outlaw the technology in certain settings will go before SA parliament.

    But some have pushed back against blanket bans, saying the technology has legitimate uses and that restrictions should be co-ordinated at state and federal level."
