"Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses are a privacy nightmare, with footage of naked people, sensitive information, and violent acts captured and seen by Meta's AI and an army of employees.

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.

Anonymous sources from a company in Nairobi, Kenya revealed that they have seen footage of people at their most private and vulnerable — times when the users of Meta's smart glasses would rather not have the cameras rolling."

For everyone calling Meta (Ray-Ban) AI Smart Glasses “revolutionary”... And for everyone considering buying a pair... Think twice. Meta itself states: “in some cases, Meta will review your interactions with AIs, including the content of your conversations with or messages to AIs, and this review can be automated or manual (human).” Let that sink in. To “train” the AI, real people are reviewing your footage. The see what you see, what you say, where you are. Not hypothetically. In practice. Reports suggest workers are exposed to highly personal moments: “We see everything, from living rooms to naked bodies.” This isn’t just smart tech. It’s a level of access into your private life most people wouldn’t knowingly agree to. Meta Platforms doesn’t sell glasses. It builds data pipelines. So ask yourself: Are you buying a smart product... Or volunteering your life as training data? Source: Investigations by Svenska Dagbladet and Göteborgs-Posten, also covered by the BBC.

Think Twice Before Buying or Using Meta’s Ray-Bans

Over the last decade or so, the tech industry has tried, and mostly failed, to make “smart glasses”—tech-infused glasses with cameras, AI, maps, displays, and more—a thing. But over the past year, products like Meta’s Ray-Ban Display Glasses and Oakley’s Meta Glasses have gone from a curious niche...
