Artificial intelligence has become a core part of modern smart devices, but what's happening with Meta's smart glasses is raising big concerns about personal privacy. It turns out that video clips captured by these glasses, including moments of undressing or using the bathroom, are sometimes sent to employees thousands of miles away for review and classification. The goal? To improve AI algorithms. These glasses, which sell for about £300, come with built-in cameras and microphones. They let users chat with an AI chatbot by saying "Hey Meta" and activate the camera for video calls or recording clips. While Meta insists the devices are designed to protect privacy and that users control their data, their privacy policies do mention that some interactions with the AI might be reviewed manually or automatically.
