On March 5 (local time), a lawsuit was initiated in the U.S. Federal Court in San Francisco by two consumers who had purchased Meta AI glasses. They accused Meta and its eyewear manufacturing collaborator, Luxottica of America, of breaching California's consumer protection statutes. As per reports, Meta uploads the video and audio data captured by the Ray-Ban series of smart glasses to its servers and subsequently forwards them to contractors based in Kenya. There, employees manually review and label this content to train AI models. Notably, this footage encompasses users' private information. In response, Meta clarified that unless users opt to share the content, it stays stored on their personal devices. Furthermore, the service terms already outline that data may undergo manual review, and the company implements measures to safeguard user privacy.
