Masters Cracks Down on AI Glasses Intrusion

Augusta National has intensified its security measures to thwart spectators from bringing AI-powered glasses onto the grounds, thereby circumventing the club's stringent ban on phones and cameras. These smart glasses, from brands like Oakley and Ray-Ban, can transmit messages and capture photos and videos, making them difficult to detect. Security staff are now receiving specific training to identify these hidden cameras. This heightened vigilance follows instances where fans have posted content captured with such devices online. Previously, security sometimes struggled to distinguish the smart glasses from regular eyewear. Fans attempting to use these gadgets during the tournament risk being expelled and permanently banned. The club is also monitoring online platforms for any content shared via these devices.
