Smart glasses have absolutely nothing to do with AI. They're just cameras.

I think AI granting the ability for nearly anyone to easily manipulate short videos in a way that looks realistic might be where it comes into the picture.

Having video evidence of everything you do is just unsettling at the very least if you ask me.
