Senators press Meta over smart glasses privacy and AI training use

Senators Ron Wyden and Edward Markey have demanded that Meta explain what safeguards its camera-equipped smart glasses have against covert filming, and whether intimate footage of unconsenting bystanders is retained and reviewed by human contractors to train its AI. The letter follows reports of harassment filmed with the glasses, a lawsuit by more than 70 people and a patent filing for facial recognition. The case shows wearable cameras and AI data collection making ordinary public life recordable, identifiable and commercially harvested without the consent of those captured.
