Meta Develops AI Smart Glasses with Continuous Capture, Updates Privacy FeaturesPreviousNext

Meta is developing next-generation AI-powered smart glasses with continuous audio and image capture to enhance personalized AI interactions. However, this raises privacy concerns, especially as reports suggest the usual camera indicator light might be disabled during continuous recording. In response to backlash, Meta announced a software update that disables the camera if the privacy indicator is tampered with, aiming to address user privacy and transparency issues.
