Meta Smart Glasses Raise Privacy Concerns After Workers Reveal What They’re Seeing Meta’s popular Ray-Ban AI smart glasses are facing new scrutiny after workers reviewing the footage said they are seeing extremely private moments from users’ lives. Contractors in Kenya told investigators they were asked to watch and label videos recorded by the glasses, including people using the bathroom, changing clothes, and even intimate scenes. The footage is reportedly used to train Meta’s artificial intelligence systems. Many workers say they felt uncomfortable but had to continue reviewing the clips to keep their jobs. Critics argue the situation highlights major privacy concerns, especially since users may not realize how much of their recorded footage could be viewed by human reviewers. While Meta’s terms of service mention that interactions with its AI can be reviewed, experts say most people likely don’t understand how extensive that data collection can be. #ChaunceyDatGuy #Meta #AI #SmartGlasses #Privacy #Technology #ArtificialIntelligence #TechNews
