AI technology expands into film production and wearable devices

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence is driving diverse developments in media and wearable technology. In Indonesia, the AI Content Fest 2026, organized by CapCut, showcased ten short films created using AI tools. The festival, held in Jakarta, aimed to transition digital creator content to the big screen, utilizing AI for idea development, visuals, and editing.

Simultaneously, the rise of AI-powered smart glasses has sparked significant privacy concerns globally. Following a surge in sales for Meta’s smart glasses, reports of unauthorized recording and potential facial recognition features have led to regulatory scrutiny. In the United Kingdom, incidents of covert filming have been reported, while Oslo, Norway, has banned the use of such glasses in schools. The European Union is facing increasing pressure to regulate these devices to prevent public privacy violations.
