Meta's Smart Glasses: Increased Data Collection for AI
Tap title to read story
Meta's updated privacy policy for Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses allows increased data collection for AI training. While the camera isn't constantly recording, images from user-captured photos and videos are now used if "Hey Meta" is enabled. The option to disable voice recording storage has been removed; users must manually delete recordings. Meta justifies this change by citing the need for data to improve its AI products, including a recent live translation feature. Critics argue this represents a shift towards prioritizing data collection over user privacy.
