Meta launches camera-free AI glasses amid concerns
Meta has unveiled several new wearables powered by its AI models, including an audio-only, camera-free version of its smart glasses, amid global concerns about privacy and the filming of women and girls without their consent.
Meta unveiled a new line of AI-powered wearables at its annual conference, including an audio-only, camera-free version of its smart glasses, amidst global concerns over privacy and consent. CEO Mark Zuckerberg stated that most people with glasses today will soon be upgraded to AI glasses. The audio-only glasses, priced at $349 (€306), will launch on October 13th.
Meta also introduced its personal AI assistant, Muse, which will be the centerpiece of the new wearable lineup. The audio glasses will complement the release of additional smart glasses models, retaining the photo and video filming option. Meta's vice president of AI product Vishal Shah emphasized the importance of privacy features, such as recording indicator lights, to ensure transparency.
Despite its global user base of nearly four billion, Meta faces scrutiny over child safety and privacy issues, having already settled a lawsuit for up to $18 billion.
