Chief Data Protection Officer on AI There is a risk that everyone feels publicly watched

The number of reported potential data protection violations has more than doubled compared to the previous year, according to the published activity report. Adrian Lobsiger, Switzerland's federal data protection and transparency commissioner, discusses the reasons behind this increase, focusing on citizens' desire for greater control over their personal data. He highlights concerns regarding the use of AI glasses by companies like Meta, which can record and stream video in real time. Lobsiger emphasizes the importance of ensuring that such technologies do not make individuals feel constantly observed in public spaces. He notes that while existing laws already grant citizens certain rights, there are ongoing challenges related to the enforcement of these laws and the increasing pressure on the transparency law, which allows access to official documents.
