The increasing use of facial recognition technology in consumer products is raising significant privacy concerns among the public and legislators. This could lead to new regulations or restrictions on tech companies producing such devices, which may harm growth prospects in the related sectors.

Companies developing consumer-focused AI technology, such as smart glasses that utilize AI facial recognition, may see both opportunities and challenges. While adoption can increase, potential backlash from privacy concerns could hinder market expansion.
