Apple Watch and Amazon Bee test US wiretap laws

Amazon's Bee Frontier and Bee Eclipse wearables arrived on Thursday. Apple's Watch Series 12, unveiled in September, will have Siri Recap, which takes notes through the day. Apple and Amazon say their devices don't store audio, but legal experts say that may not settle the question under US state wiretap laws. A New Hampshire law professor says a wearer there could potentially face civil or criminal liability, though he stressed prosecution is far less likely.

Why it matters: If your team uses AI recorders or note-taking wearables in meetings, get everyone's consent first. The article covers US state laws only, so check Australian rules with an adviser.
