Here is what the page “Reform UK’s Jason O’Connell sparks Senedd ‘smart glasses’ ban calls after 20mph speech” contains. Jason O’Connell, a Reform UK member of the Welsh Senedd, is at the centre of a political storm after he appeared to use AI-enabled ‘smart glasses’ during a speech attacking Wales’s 20mph speed limit policy. The specs, which flashed periodically as he delivered a five-minute address without notes, prompted immediate calls for a ban on such devices in the Senedd chamber.
O’Connell cited figures including 192 roads reviewed, 933 requests, only four routes returned to 30mph, and costs of £38.3m to implement and up to £8.9bn in economic harm. The incident reignites debate over the use of AI tools by politicians, raising questions about transparency, authenticity, and the line between assistive technology and deception in democratic debate.
