On September 23, against a backdrop of escalating market anxieties surrounding privacy issues tied to AI-powered gadgets, Meta Platforms is poised to reveal its latest smart glasses at its annual Connect conference on Wednesday. Among these offerings will be a model notably devoid of a camera. Last year, the sales of smart glasses co-developed by Meta and EssilorLuxottica soared, surpassing 7 million units and cementing Meta's leading position in the market. Yet, as these devices proliferate, global apprehensions have mounted regarding their capacity to inadvertently capture images or videos of unsuspecting individuals. This has prompted several restaurants, bars, and cinemas across the UK to impose restrictions on their use. Furthermore, these glasses have become embroiled in legal disputes, including a proposed class-action lawsuit in California, USA. The lawsuit alleges that Meta misled consumers about the extent of privacy protections, asserting that after videos were uploaded to servers, human annotators accessed users' private footage. Meta has refuted these claims and intends to defend itself against them. The company is anticipated to introduce two camera-free smart glasses models, named Clubmaster and Burbank, in response to these concerns.
