This BLOG explores the evolving landscape of augmented reality (AR) wearables and artificial intelligence (AI) governance in education. Informed by Mark Zuckerberg’s announcement of a post-smartphone future and Meta’s efforts to develop sophisticated smart glasses (Foster, 2025), the BLOG examines how emerging technologies converge with global educational and policy frameworks. Grounded in policy documents such as the EU AI Act in Education, UNESCO’s AI competencies for teachers and students, and the OECD’s guidelines on AI, the discussion highlights Dr. Daithí Ó Murchú’s arguments in his series of 11 AI-focused blogs as a critical lens for understanding the transformative potential of wearable AI in education. This study identifies strategies for responsible adoption, outlines governance imperatives, and proposes best practices to ensure equitable and ethical integration of these innovative technologies in educational contexts.
