## Abstract (arXiv)

This position paper for the CHI 2025 workshop "Everyday AR through AI-in-the-Loop" reflects on whether as a field HCI needs to define Responsible XR as a parallel to, and in conjunction with, Responsible AI, addressing the unique vulnerabilities posed by mass adoption of wearable AI-enabled AR glasses and XR devices that could enact AI-driven human perceptual augmentation.
