Meta Platforms Inc. is testing a prototype of its AI-powered smart glasses that would record everything the user sees and hears, according to a report by the Financial Times. The new “super-sensing” glasses would take photos continuously, every few seconds, to record everything the wearer has seen and done throughout the day, acting as an “always-on assistant.” Unlike Meta’s existing AI glasses, which require voice activation or a physical button and light an LED indicator when recording, senior Meta executives reportedly do not plan to activate the LED light when these super-sensing features are used. Meta has previously argued in a policy paper that if the LED light blinked all of the time, people would likely stop noticing it. To address privacy concerns, the raw footage would not be stored by the company or made available to the user; instead, only the metadata of the images and audio would be extracted and stored for AI queries. This week, Meta also announced a key update to its current glasses that will disable the cameras if the LED light is blocked or tampered with.
