Can you control it?

Sometimes

Sometimes. Your choices depend on the tool and your access. The settings available to an everyday user may differ from those available to the people running it.

Common questions

Does an AI-glasses label mean all processing happens in the glasses?
No. Features may use a phone or remote service.
Do all AI glasses have a screen?
No. Some provide help mainly through audio rather than a visible display.
Can they misunderstand what the wearer is looking at?
Yes. Camera position, lighting and missing background information can lead to a wrong interpretation.
