AI Glasses With Facial Recognition Raise Global Surveillance Fears

Chinese tech firm iFlytek has launched AI-powered smart glasses capable of real-time facial observation, lip-reading, translation across 122 languages, and ambient recording in public spaces, joining Meta and Google in an accelerating race toward always-on wearable surveillance. This technology signals the rapid emergence of infrastructure capable of tracking, identifying, and monitoring individuals at mass scale — a development directly consistent with biblical warnings of an end-times system of total control over human movement, identity, and commerce. Revelation 13:16-17 describes a global authority able to monitor and control all people, and technologies like these form the societal and technical scaffolding that would make such a system possible.
