LAS VEGAS–Should your credit union be thinking about putting a “smart glasses policy” in place?
One person believes so.
Speaking to Mitchell Stankovic’s Underground meeting in Las Vegas, James Gukeisen, leagues and advocacy director with Trellance, said there are some emerging technology risks credit unions need to be thinking about with smart glasses.
As he noted, Meta said it is partnering with EssilorLuxottica, the parent company of eyewear brands like Ray-Ban and Oakley, to develop its smart glasses, which can take photos and videos, make calls, send messages and provide real-time AI assistance, including language translation and step-by-step guidance.
In short, the glasses overlay digital information on the real world through their augmented reality capabilities.
‘Always On’
“Smart glasses are always on and always listening,” said Gukeisen. “Can you open a laptop on a plane anymore? If I’m in a row behind (a credit union executive) and I’m wearing a pair of smart glasses, I’m looking at their log-in, their password, I’m gaining email access. It’s going to give our credit unions a new group of risk and tolerance policies to be developed.”
