Meta is reportedly working on smart glasses that would be recording all the time
Meta is developing 'super sensing' smart glasses capable of continuous audio and visual data collection to power its AI assistant. The project faces significant privacy scrutiny, particularly regarding the potential for recording without clear LED indicators.
Why it matters
This development represents a major shift toward 'always-on' wearable AI, raising critical questions about surveillance, user consent, and the future of personal privacy.
Meta might be the next company to make an always-on AI wearable. The company is working on prototype “super sensing” always-aware smart glasses that could continuously record audio and snap photos “every few seconds,” according to the Financial Times. The wearer could then ask Meta AI about the captured audio and images.
The article presents the technical goals of the company alongside the valid privacy concerns raised by the public and regulators.
