US Senators Ron Wyden and Edward Markey are investigating privacy and safety risks around Meta's AI smart glasses. In a letter to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, the lawmakers describe “serious privacy and safety risks” and note that the product was released despite identified bystander privacy concerns. The letter cites reports of invasions of privacy involving the glasses, including incidents described by 404 Media and BBC about men filming women with the eyewear and posting recordings online. It also references accounts and a lawsuit about Meta contractors reviewing footage captured by the glasses showing people undressing or engaging in sexual activity. The senators ask Meta to address questions about accidental camera activation and recording-indicator tampering, whether faces and license plates are blurred during AI interactions, and how imagery is shared with employees or contractors or used to train AI models. They also request information on whether Meta conducted human rights due diligence and safety testing before release, with responses due by Thanksgiving. The letter underscores ongoing concerns about wearable surveillance and calls for detailed explanations of Meta’s safeguards and policies.
