Meta Hit With Sweeping New Claims That Its AI Glasses Violated the Consent of “Millions” of Bystanders in Searing Lawsuit
"No bystanders anywhere had any opportunity to, much less in fact did, consent to having their faces, bodies, voices, and personal information captured, reviewed, labeled, and embedded into Meta's AI systems." The post Meta Hit With Sweeping New Claims That Its AI Glasses Violated the Consent of “Millions” of Bystanders in Searing Lawsuit appeared first on Futurism .
Meta is facing a major class action lawsuit alleging that its AI glasses violated the privacy of "millions" of bystanders who were recorded without their consent, according to the amended complaint. The lawsuit, first filed in March, now includes additional plaintiffs who did not own the smart glasses but were recorded by others using the devices' AI features.
These bystanders, including minors, claim they were unaware their faces, bodies, voices, and personal information were captured, reviewed, labeled, and potentially used to train Meta's AI models. Meta is accused of false advertising, misleading purchasers into believing the glasses are designed for privacy and that users control their data.
The lawsuit alleges that Meta failed to disclose that content collected through the glasses' AI features wound up in front of human reviewers who witnessed intimate material. Meta maintains it disagrees with the allegations and will fight them, stating that their glasses enable hands-free AI use and that data is reviewed to improve products and experiences.
