DuckDuckGo has released "the world’s most innovative anti-surveillance sunglasses," otherwise known as normal sunglasses, to mock Meta's AI-powered "Meta Glasses," which retail for upwards of $299 and have been nicknamed "pervert glasses" by internet users. The Meta glasses are equipped with photo and video technology that some users have used to discreetly film strangers, with some women later finding recordings of encounters posted online without their consent. Although the glasses have a white light to indicate recording, some have found ways to disable it. DuckDuckGo partnered with eyewear company Knockaround to sell glasses with "No camera, no microphone, no AI, no battery, no electronics of any kind," designed to "block the sun and never send data to the cloud." A July 30 social media post from DuckDuckGo said, "These are the first smart glasses guaranteed to never record nude videos of you and send them to random people." It has been reported that Meta's AI glasses have recorded videos of users having sex and using the bathroom that were viewed by Kenyan subcontractors training Meta's AI systems. Internal documents revealed plans to embed facial recognition technology, which rights groups including the American Civil Liberties Union warned "would allow anyone wearing them to identify by name any strangers in their vicinity." The technology was rolled back after being secretly implemented, but concerns remain, with growing calls from lawmakers and privacy groups in the US and Europe to ban the glasses.
