Smart glasses are a trendy item that relies on cameras to feed AI models and to answer queries. However, while this is viewed as a fun feature by many and a way to film their life in a hands-free way, it’s still a massive privacy issue if not used correctly.
An investigation by Svenska Dagbladet on February 27 looked into the workings of the Meta Ray-Ban partnership and its AI glasses. It found that the footage is collected and seen by many eyes, including human trainers of AI.
