Your Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses recordings aren't private
The things you record with your AI-powered Meta Ray-Ban glasses — yes, even those intimate moments where you think you're alone — are probably being seen by strangers.
An investigation by Swedish outlets Svenska Dagbladet and Göteborgs-Posten found that offshore Meta workers in Kenya were asked to analyze intimate and even "disturbing" videos taken by glasses wearers, including videos taken in bathrooms, footage featuring nudity and sexual content, and images showing personal information like bank accounts. It's part of a process known as data labeling, used to train AI models with footage first reviewed and annotated by humans so that the AI can understand what it's "looking" at.
